>Thanks, Charles, for the syntax for a link that includes a username.  Also to Fernando for the cut-and-paste tip using Windows Explorer.  I think we are on the right track, but I have a few remaining problems:

I _can_ log on to it with a command-line ftp client using any username (or a blank user name).  I don't know what is different about the embedded FTP server that keeps it from working.

I have to copy them to the clipboard using Windows Explorer before using IE to paste them.  It seems like I should be able to follow one of those FTP links, right-click on a file and select copy, then navigate to a different directory and paste it.  Am I missing something obvious?

If you mean that you want to copy a file FROM the FTP server to 
somewhere local using IE, I believe that with some older versions of IE 
you need to use the Edit->Copy to Folder... menu selection rather than 
drag and drop. Perhaps this is the case for you.
