FTP client

Does anyone has any idea , on what to provide in the host for the FTP client. I am trying to connect to some server (kind of a storage location) having some files and I want to validate the files there .

usually you have to provide hostname or hostname with domain name (FQDN) or ip address.

That works if I want to connect to a server through FTP client .But what if , it is just a common platform to store files . Can we connect for that too ?

What is a common platform to store files?
Provide more details, as you are asking general questions.
What services are exposed by your "common platform to store files"

The FTP protocol runs on top of a TCP/IP connection. To establish a TCP/IP connection you must have an IP address or a host name which can be resolved to an IP address.
