FTPing on home network

I downloaded a program called FileZilla. I was thinking it would allow me to transfer files between the computers on my home network. Does anyone know if this is possible with program? If so, please give me detailed instructions on how to set it up. I've tried to get it working but it's not. I do have a Linksys wireless router and using Zone Alarm firewall. O/S is WinXP Home.

Thanks,
Wy

No, that's not what FileZilla does, FileZilla is meant to transfer
files via FTP from your computer to a web site that you are building
or maintaining.

To transfer files between computers on your local home network, no
special software is required. Just use My Computer or Windows Explorer
to cut and paste, drag and drop, etc. This is no different from
transferring files between two folders on your own computer.
