The FTP-server is running Filezilla FTP Server on a Windows 2008 server.
The path \\ftp.servername.com\
is a UNC path which is used for communicating with SMB and/or CIFS. As such, it's impossible to access a server running FTP with a client using a completely unrelated protocol (unless you want to go to the trouble of stringing up some kind of crazy proxy hand-off system - and you don't).
Windows 7 has the built-in ability to access an FTP server. Go to your start menu and type in the FQDN of the FTP server including protocol. For example:
You will be presented with a dialog box to log into the server with a username and password.
Type ftp://ftp.servername.com and hit "enter".
