If they are serving up the files via FTP then you should be able to
connect with any FTP client you like, which should also handle asking
you for a username and password. If they are sharing via Windows file
sharing then you can connect as a Windows client using SMB, the Windows
protocol for file sharing. Just do connect to server from the finder
(command-k) and then use the URL
smb://serveraddress/shareName
where you put in either the DNS network name or IP address of their
server and the name of their share. It will prompt you for the username
nad password to use. I connect to Windows fileservers this way all the time.

Hello everyone, I am at a friends home and he has a windows network. He has an
ftp server. He has shared certain files on this network and I would like to
access them with my mac.
But I dont know how to accomplish this. The computer that hosts the files is
protected with a username and password so I will have to enter that to acces
sthem. Can anyone tell me how I can accomplish this from the mac?
Thanks in advance,
