To download files from an ftp site, you need an ftp client such as CuteFTP, WS_FTP, or SmartFTP (my favorite).
If you go to download.com, there will be a listing of at least 30 to choose from ;)
Once your there, specify the IP or name of the PC you wish to connect to. Also, specify the port (usually port 21). If anonymous users are allowed, you can enter "anonymous" as the user, with your email as the password. If anonymous connections are not allowed for the particular ftp server you're trying to connect to, you will have to already have a username on the server.
Once in there, you should be able to drag and drop files to/from your PC.
Also... if you have Internet Explorer, the cheesy/quick way to visit an ftp site is to browse to ftp://username:password@serverIP:serverPort
Sorry, I don't know what grokster is
is it a file sharing program such as the gnutella network ?? (the old napster, kazaa, morpheus, etc?)

Here is a link to a document I wrote it a long time ago because so many people asked me the same question over and over again. It shows you how to set up an FTP Server and how to access them. Don't mind the language. :)

HAHA... yeah. I remember I made that document a long time ago for a friend who wrote me a tutorial for Photoshop with that same "wiseass" remarks throughout the document. It was damn funny. ;)

A console based FTP client comes with Windows but is primitive and not as reliable as something like CuteFTP or WS_FTPx. I guess if you're running a very primitive system (or if your whole system is just console) you can use it, other than that, I wonder why you would. You can also connect through some browsers like IE but I don't recommend that either. :shock:
