Access ftp files with a Web Browser
  The following info works with OLI's FTP Hosting service, but may also work with other cPanel configured Linux servers:

One simple way to access FTP through a browser Web-FTP

Or to connect via Windows Explorer or a browser like Internet Explorer (note Firefox requires the FireFTP addon):
In your browser location bar, where you normally see Website addresses like www.google.com, you would type, for example:

ftp://user+domain@domain
so user Jane at olicentral.com would use: ftp://jane+olicentral.com@olicentral.com

- note the above method doesn't work on some versions of IE

To upload, you can simply drag and drop a file from your desktop into the window.

To download you simply click and drag the file from the browser to your desktop. most versions of Internet explorer also allow you to move and delete files as needed. It's that simple!
