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!
