FTP is a protocol which gives you shell access to a unix system, but is also emulated for most OS's. Once your logged in you can send unix commands to do stuff like
ls- list the files/directories
cd- change directory
and so on.
what it also gives you the option to do though is upload and download files from your computer to the server.
when its used for websites your normally given a virtual directory on the server which you can upload and download to then access the files via the http protocol.
If you cant be arsed learning how to use the unix promt get an ftp client such as LeechFTP then everythings just drag and drop.
