For a text ftp client, ncftp is nice and it also has bookmarks and 
remembers passwords.  It is similar to gftp-text, but doesn't use 
colors, which IMO makes the screen easier to read (dark blue on black is 
difficult for me).

It looks like gftp-common and gftp-gtk (in main) have a security upgrade
which doesn't exist for gftp-text, which is only in universe (and there
are versioned dependencies which make that version of gftp-common
incompatable with the available version of gftp-text).
