Do you mean, you are unable to copy and paste your *files*? Because that's what FTP is--it's for tranferring files. It isn't a file editor, where you request a file and then start typing its contents.

Your problem might be that you're using IE7, which for some reason makes you go through miserable hoops--using Windows Explorer--to open a directory for FTP uploads or bulk downloads. When you first log in, you get a directory tree, with the message at the top, "To view this FTP site in Windows Explorer, click Page, and then click Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer." Do that. And you have to have already FTPed into the site and then FTP in all over again following the instructions, because until you've FTPed in the first time, that option doesn't appear on the IE Page menu. I can't imagine why they thought this made more sense when IE6 gave you FTP directly.
