Yes.

How to transfer (ftp) files via web browser?

On the IE Address line type ftp://<site address>. See the IE Help content
for additional information on using FTP within IE.

If so, what mode it use, binary or ascii?

Yes.

No. i think you'll find it's only included on Pro.

Or you could get the freebie FileZilla
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla) if you want a real FTP
client instead of trying to use IE's browser adaption which isn't
configurable.

No, that's not correct. It's on both.

Not clear. Have to transfer files via web browser? Different types of files
requires different mode. How to set specific mode acii (for .pl, .cgi files)
and binary (for images files)??????

I stand corrected, or am i thinking about setting up a FTP Server?

That's probably what you're thinking about. XP Pro includes IIS, which
includes an FTP server. There are third-party FTP servers available
which will work on XP Home.

Open the site in IE using the syntax I mentioned in the prior post. The FTP
site will look much like a regular set of folders. Right-click a file and
select Copy to Folder; then select a local folder for the destination.

Seems you are making this sound more difficult than it really is.

As an example, click this link: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com and browse around.
