How to connect to IP address on network from Linux Mint?

I tried to search for this online before asking, simply I may not exist using the correct wordage so perhaps that is why I am non getting proficient results.

Anyway, I'm trying to access a FTP server share on my network. On Windows I can just practice \\192.168.1.five then Windows will show me the shared folder on there, merely on Linux I tried a few ways only I'1000 non able to figure it out. The FTP share is like shared similar a Windows folder or something I gauge, I'm non sure what you call it, but I know it has a FTP upload power

ftp://192.168.1.5 should do it in say Firefox, in fact I would exist surprised if you tin can't only type the plain IP.
To upload y'all may need something like filezilla from the software center.

FTP is a protocol so it shouldn't affair if the target is on a Windows host or whatsoever other.

You could bank check if your linux box can see the target machine.

Is there a way to access this from the GUI? (window director / file manager)

Having been on one linux forum or another for what seems like forever now I have some revelations:

Delight add a [SOLVED] at the end of your original subject header if your question has been answered and solved.

you can enter the address directly in the address bar of the file managing director or yous can (in Nemo) become via file card -> connect with server -> select ftp as blazon.

The answer is simple... It's because Google's early on contest was AOL (which everybody hates) and Yahoo (which didn't work very well fifty-fifty if you knew how to use it).
