My host doesn't support ftp because it's insecure. Simply use scp
(secure copy protocol).
There are good clients for every plateform. I have no idea how it is
implemented server-side.
You can try winscp which can be found at http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/
(freeware win32 scp client with a norton like two pannels interface for
batch file up/download)
