Hi Xavier

Many thanks for your very helpful reply. I followed your advice & dl the ftp
for win32 exe file & added the code to .emacs & put the path to to the .exe
in Path env and I can now access the server files!

(is there anyway to make a shortcut code to access the server more
directly?).

That problem had niggled me for the past 2 days! Glad you have helped me
sort it out! 
Best wishes to you
