Complete Noob plz help

[2005]

Here is where Im at basically. I need to know if this program can be used for me to connect to my friends computer and for me to get files off of his machine or for him to get files from my machine. We have files that we need to share on a dialy basis and dont have the time to deliever them physically. So can I say type in his IP addy and then upload files off of his machine onto mine??? Sorry but I know nothing about FTP except I did manage to FTP files into my PS2's memory card.
