OK, so where do I find ncftp?
     
     And why is the operation of the remote commands so confusing? To see 
     the list, I need to use the command "remote", but to access any of 
     them, I replace "remote" with "quote". Is there a reason behind that 
     that will help me understand things?

 Try using:
ftp> quote site group <group>
ftp> quote site gpass <passwd>
     
also look into ncftp a really neat ftp client.
