They didn't. IE/Explorer includes FTP for graphic users, ftp.exe still
exists for command line users.

I'd guess that depends on what the aforementioned administrators are
trying to accomplish.

You can also map a remote site in Explorer and transfer files just like
you would with any drive/directory.

Right click on "Computer" and select "Map network drive." At the bottom
of the popup is an option to "Connect to a web site that you can use to
store your documents and pictures." That will start the "Add network
location wizard." Just read and follow the directions.

Hint: If you want to access the remote site without logging in each time,
include the username and password in the URL. For example,
"ftp://username"
