As I understand, FPE are code plug-ins so that the webpages
built with FP will work. They have nothing to do with FTP.
I understand that you can FTP from Internet Explorer, see
help
To access FTP sites directly
1.. In the Address bar, type the Internet address (URL)
for the FTP site you want to connect to. For example:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/
2.. Do one or more of the following:
a.. To download a file or folder, right-click the item
on the page, and then click Copy to Folder.
b.. To log on as a different user to this FTP site, on
the File menu, click Login As.
c.. To rename or delete items in an FTP folder, or paste
items into an FTP site (upload), you can use the same
commands and actions you use with Windows Explorer or My
Computer.
Notes
a.. On some FTP sites, you can only view or download
files. Only the people who run or own the site can rename,
delete, or upload files.
b.. On many FTP sites, you are automatically logged on
anonymously, so you can view or download files. To upload,
rename, or delete files, you may need to log on using a
special user name and password. Also, different areas of the
same site may require different logons.
c.. You cannot move files within or between FTP sites. You
can move files from an FTP site to a temporary location on
your computer or a network drive, and then upload them to
another FTP site or different folder on the same site.
d.. Some programs may support opening and saving files
from FTP servers by typing an FTP address in the File Open
or File Save dialog box.

Understanding FTP
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. A protocol is a
language that enables computers to speak to one another. FTP
is used to make files and folders publicly available for
transfer over the Internet. In some cases you may need to
get permission from the network computer's administrator to
log on and gain access to files on the computer. But often
you'll find that you can use FTP to gain access to certain
networks or servers without having an account, or being an
official password holder, with that computer. These
"anonymous" FTP servers can contain a broad range of data
that is publicly available through FTP.
The Internet address (URL) for an FTP server looks slightly
different from the URL you use for a typical Web page. For
example, Microsoft has an "anonymous" FTP server at
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com, where you can download files
ranging from product fixes, updated drivers, and utilities,
to Microsoft Knowledge Base articles and other
documentation.
How much access you have to files and folders on FTP servers
depends on whether you gain access to the servers through a
CERN proxy server or directly, and what kind of permissions
you have with the FTP server.
a.. Access through a CERN proxy server is limited to
viewing or downloading files. You cannot rename, upload, or
delete files or folders through a CERN proxy server as you
can through other types of proxy servers. For more
information, click:
Access FTP sites through a CERN-compliant proxy server
b.. If you gain access to FTP sites directly, you can work
with files and folders on the FTP servers much like you work
with them on your own computer. You can view, download,
upload, rename, and delete files and folders. If you need
permission from the FTP server to perform any of these
actions, you will be prompted to provide your user name and
password. For more information, click:
