Network File Manager (NFM) allows you to use FTP to transfer files. If you know how to use Windows File Manager, you already know how to use NFM.
When you open NFM, the Windows File Manager opens below it. Drag a file from NFM to a directory in File Manager, and the file is copied!
FTP Servers are machines out on the Internet that allow you to connect to them and transfer files.
Anonymous FTP Servers are servers that are available for everyone to access.
You may find FTP server addresses on World Wide Web home pages or in news articles, or someone might email you an FTP Server address. You can then use NFM to access it.
