You can FTP flash a bios to different banks using the admin folder when running X3 Config Live.

If you only have FlashBIOS you can only flashing usingCD/DVD, HDD and network flash via HTTP.

FTP and HTTP are different protocols although both transported over the same network they provide different services. As FlashBIOS is only a tool with one main function and doesn't setup your file system in which case it would probably provide an FTP server if it did to allow file access, but thats not its purpose. Using a web browser is much easier and simplier since everyone has one and the webpage will give you complete and easy instructions to follow. Not everyone has an FTP client.

It is still possible to flash your bios with an FTP client you just need to have your XBox setup for it. X3 Config Live allows this.

The Internet is a network of networks across the globe... HTTP is one service that can be used over a network provided by web servers. You don't need to be connected to them.

Your Xbox will act as a web server. You connect straight to your Xbox only.
