You need to install ftp like vsftpd and then start service then you can ftp your centos machine from windows using any ftp client for example filezilla.

Install vsftpd with yum as

yum install vsftpd

Start service vsftpd

service vsftpd start

then make sure that port 21 is listening on your centos machine.

netstat -an |grep 21

OUTPUT should like

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

You can also check with telnet from your windows cmd enter below command. yourIP replace with centos machine's IP

telnet yourIP 21

Now you can FTP centos with ftp client (filezilla) or from browser.
