If you want the client side of ftp, you will most certainly find ftp and ncftp on your installation disks. However I kinldy suggest use of lftp (http://ftp.yars.free.net/projects/lftp/ ) Except fot the lack of a GUI, it is the most versatile ftp client I have seen in 8 years

If you want to install a server ftp, avoid at all costs wu-ftpd. It has a very long history of fatal bugs ("wu-ftp, providing remote root since 1980s"). Use instead one of vs-ftpd (very secure ftp daemon .. this one is used by RedHat on their servers), pure-ftpd (www.pureftpd.org, simple to install, light at use, ability to authenticate users with local accounts, local databases, MySQL databases) or Pro-ftpd. For each of them look for the packages adequate to your distribution (you did not specify what distribution you use and redhat/suse/mandrake all use RPM) either on the installation disk or on the applications' site.
