termftp is on sunsite.unc.edu somewhere.  There is a better ftp client that
does term, ncftp.  Versions after 1.6 or so have term code included.  It was
not completely straightforward to get it working on Solaris 2.3, but it was
not too hard.  I also included readline support.  I use ncftp to download
with from a lot of sites, but it does not flush puts to disk properly or
something, it reports complete transfers but ls -l has a different opinion.

If you are talking about an ftpd, then there is one of those on sunsite too.
All the term stuff there is below /pub/Linus/apps/comm.

There is quite a bit of discussion by term, even by non-linuxers, on the
linux groups.

Hope this helps.
