Most operating systems (UNIX, NT, Windows 98) are shipped with a built-in FTP client that is accessed from a "console window". Many people don't use a console FTP client partly because they don't know one exists and partly because console FTP clients have a steeper learning curve. One you use, learn, and master a console FTP client you will very likely never use a graphical FTP client again. (It sounds crazy, but it's true for many people). To use a console FTP client you will first need access to a "command prompt". This can be gained by opening a console window. You can do this in Windows 95/98/NT by looking in your "Start->Program" menu for "MS-DOS prompt" or "Command Prompt". You can also "Run" the command prompt executable by selecting "Start->Run" and entering the executable path "c:/windows/command/command.com" or "c:/winnt/system32/cmd.exe" (as the case may be). Most UNIX environments use console windows and command prompts quite extensively and UNIX users are already comfortable using them (or should be).
