Sadly, the as-per-usual FTP client on Linux is not as useful (IMO) as the OpenBSD client.

On Linux and FreeBSD ftp(1) is meant as just a ftp client, nothing more or less. For more advanced features and protocol support wget and fetch are used respectively.
OpenBSD's ftp(1) is somewhat misnamed, and should be compared to wget or fetch in Linux and FreeBSD. Not to their ftp(1).
