I do like lftp, but I feel the simple ftp(1) client serves a different need.

tnftp, since it's from NetBSD, uses libedit for line editing. The source
includes it or you can link it with the libedit we already have. Or you
can disable the functionality. I do dislike having two line editing
libraries, but whatever. My locally installed tnftp has line editing via
the provided libedit in the tnftp source.
