Go to Tools > Internet Options and click the Advanced tab.

Locate the "Enable folder view for FTP sites" setting and click to add a check to the checkbox.

You may be able to open or save files from an FTP server, if you type an FTP address in the File Open or File Save dialogue box when you use a program that supports this feature.
