Vodz has a port of the tradional ftp client available at

ftp://ftp.simtreas.ru/pub/my/bb/ports/


ftpget and ftpput are supposed to be minimalistic so you can
send/receive a file non-interactively, maybe in a script or something.

I do think ftpget/ftpput and a few other network utilities should change
its argument handling to be more like scp, but now is not the time to be
changing it.
