You log in to ftp's them by typing 'anonymous' at the login name. It will then either tell you to type 'ident' for the password, or tell you to type you e-mail address as the password. (I would type at Password: xvj@mentor.cc.purdue.edu ) You then can upload/download stuff. Make sure that you have the ftp set at binary file transer mode, or you may get problems. When I get time, I will post a complete guide as to how to download programs and other things from ftp sites and get them to run on a c64/c128.
