It is the best damn ftp client I've used on any OS. It has tab completion, accepts wildcards and tons more little perks. Try typing "ftp ftp.ncftp.com/binaries/" (no quotes) in the run command. I'm having trouble pulling up the www.ncftp.com website right now. But, the ftp site comes up. Use Mozilla instead of IE.
