    That is an FTP client. You use it to connect to an FTP server. Not from client to client.

    You could send files to your mate via ftp. You would both requier some find of ftp service to do this. FTP isn't strictly for websites.

    You need to setup an FTP server at one end. I recommend CesarFTP from www.aclogic.com. It has a lot of features but is easy to configure and there is a nice mini-tutorial on the website.

    Make sure that you forward a range of ports for passive connections (clients behind routers). The default range is 2048 to 2148 in cesar but you can change it in the server config options.
