I am trying to access ftp by typing the sntax in my internet explorer

ideas what I may be doing wrong?

IE isn't a full-fledged FTP client - it accepts ftp:// URLs, but it can
only download from an FTP server, it can't upload.

Shem is spot on. The FTP client in IE will only allow download. The upload isn't implemented (http upload is, but that's a different protocol).

If you have Windows vista then try running up Windows Explorer (right click start and select Explore) and use that, putting the ftp address in the address bar, that should allow you to upload or download. XP might provide the same capability, never tried.

Otherwise you are left with using a third party FTP tool. If you are doing this for updating the files on your website then I suggest you use an intelligent ftp client which will copy up new or changed files for you such as Web Site Publisher (free).
