File Explorer in FTP Client: If you have a website that you host with a web hosting company, the FTP protocol is primary for transferring files to the server that hosts your page.
You usually connect with an FTP client, but if you use FTP on a daily basis, a great option is to use Windows. Below we will see how you can configure Windows File Explorer for easy FTP transfers.
Adding FTP servers to File Explorer (once called Windows Explorer) has actually been a feature of the operating system since the days of Windows XP. It has improved since then, of course, and is now a very good choice among dedicated FTP clients.
When you add an FTP server to your File Explorer folder, you can access the server just like you would any other folder on your drive. Transferring files is as easy as uploading them with a simple copy and paste.
Add a network location
Open File Explorer (Windows + E keyboard shortcut) and find the This PC section in the sidebar.
On the top menu, next to File, click Computer to open the ribbon menu, and then click Add Network Location.
Continue to the Guide
On the wizard's welcome screen, click Next. When asked where to create the network location, select Select a custom network location, and then click Next.
Enter the FTP server address
When prompted, enter the IP address or domain name of the FTP server. 
Make sure you include ftp:// at the beginning, which tells Windows that you want to use the FTP protocol.
If the FTP server uses a default port for FTP ( 21), be sure to include that as well by adding a colon (:) and the port number.
Example:
ftp://secnews.gr:12345
Enter username (optional)
Some FTP servers allow public access, so you don't need to enter a name. However, hosting services require a username and password.
Then type the FTP name so you can distinguish it from other network areas on your computer.
File Explorer: Connect to FTP server
Double-click the FTP name you see in the File Explorer sidebar to connect.
Enter your password and select Save password if you don't want to type it every time. Then click Sign in. 
If you no longer need the FTP server, you can delete it by right-clicking on it and selecting Delete.
Note: File Explorer cannot connect to FTP over SSH (sftp) or Explicit and Implicit FTPS.
