FTP services can be accessed from supported Windows machines. This is a guide on how to access the UMIACS FTP service using Windows Explorer.
Opening up Windows Explorer
To open up Windows Explorer, click the folder icon on the taskbar on the bottom of your desktop.
Alternatively, click on the Start menu, and type in "Windows Explorer" in the search box (For Windows 10, type "File Explorer").

Alternatively, collaborators can access public folders through web browser. Open up a web browser. In the address bar, type in the following address:
ftp://ftp.umiacs.umd.edu/pub/<username>/ - to access users' public folders.
