Can't copy file using FTP in Windows XP

I have an FTP pointing at an MP3 file.
Here's the address:

ftp.thevenz.com/thevenzmedia/songs/SOULTAKER.mp3

I have FTP Pro installed, so Windows gives me the option to use FTP Pro to copy the file, but if I choose not to, and want to use the FTP on Windows XP to copy the file, it will give me an error page.

How can I have it so Windows XP copies the file in one step.
I thought Windows would do this by default, but I guess not.

The reason why I want to do this through Windows, and not FTP Pro, is because not everybody who goes to my site has FTP Pro.

Can anybody help me???

Not sure what your asking but if you copy this ftp url into your internet explorer address bar it will prompt you to save the file.

If you wanted to do it from the command line you would have to log onto the ftp server and then use the get command to download it. You could automate this by writing each command to download the file into a file and then use the ftp -s: switch to download it. ie

ftp -s:get_soultaker.txt

Hope this helps.
