Mac "Connect to Server" alternative

Hello, I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've been asked to transfer some files by using the Mac Go > Connect to server. The problem is, I don't own a Mac, and they don't know how to accomplish the same thing with Windows. Is it the same thing as FTP?

That explains it. ^^^ It's not FTP.

How big are the files? Do you have an account on the server?

Thanks, I'm not sure how big the files are, but I have an account for one server (to upload and download), and I can sign in as guest for the other (just to download files).

Is it possible to connect with Windows?

If FTPD is running you can connect with windows. If you want to test it, open a command prompt and type:
ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx If you are using the ip address.
OR
ftp blah.com if you are using the domain name.

Thanks! It connected, but it won't accept "guest" as a user, even though it's supposed to have guest access. Mac users have been able to get on though.

Mac users probably aren't using FTP to connect. Ask the admin for an FTP account so you can upload the files.

Alright, thank you.
