FTP in Mac OS 10.2 or Later

Mac OS 10.2 or later has built in FTP capabilities. To use this feature:

   1. From Finder, select Connect to Server from the Go menu.
   2. Type ftp://name-of-ftp-server in the "Address" field at the bottom of the "Connect to Server" window, where name-of-ftp-server is either the name of the server or the IP address of the server (e.g., ftp://ftp.netscape.com).
   3. Click Connect.

If the FTP server allows anonymous FTP connections, then the FTP server will automatically appear on the desktop as a disk. If access to the server is restricted, you will be prompted for a username and password before the FTP server will appear on the desktop.

The FTP server on the desktop may now be treated like any other disk on the computer. You can use "Find" to search and view it in a standard Mac OS directory window. When you wish to copy files from it to your computer, you can just drag the file from the FTP server directory window to your HD. When you're done, you eject the disk by either control+clicking on it and selecting Eject from the pop-up menu, or highlighting the FTP server icon on your desktop, going to the "File" menu in the Finder, and choosing Eject.
