Hello,

Install package netkit-ftp with pacman.  There are other ftp packages too.  Just type "ftp" into the packages search field on the home page.
HTH.

I use Filezilla on the regular, I really like it.  +1 to netkit-ftp, great for basic command-line tasks.

Here's a recommendation for "lftp". Pretty decent console ftp client.

Hey, lftp is actually pretty nice!  I'm going to try it more seriously when I get to listing some ebay stuff later.
