    You will first need to install and configure a FTP server on the computer that you want to host the file on.

    When you have the server configured you then need to connect the client to the server using an FTP client, using the server's IP address

    There are many tutorials on the Internet on how to do this already so your best start is Google

    If you are looking for how FTP works then your best bet is to read the request for comments (RFC) on it. An RFC describes how a protocol works.

    http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc959.txt

    However, if you want a client to connect to your FTP server the client will need to install an FTP client. There are many different FTP clients available such as FileZilla

    FileZilla - The free FTP solution

    For configuring your FTP server you are best of using a tutorial that is on the Internet. There are many available already so there is no point in writing another one for you. Just use Google to find one.
