I know (a little) how to use IE to access an FTP site.

Does WinXP (or Office 2003) include some kind of specific
FTP client software (something like WS_FTP)?

I guess a related question is: What is the advantage of
having a FTP client software vs. just using IE for this?
Is it speed, security, ???

I will purchase a FTP client if needed but I hate to buy
it if its already built in and I just don't know about it.

Thanks for your help
