As reported downthread, this is untrue. The inetutils package contains a
bare-bones ftp client (and server). Eventually I plan to provide these
as separate packages ("ftp"/"ftp-server" packages).  They'll still be
pretty bare-bones, tho, compared to other clients.

No, probably not.

...which is good advice.  The other clients MAY support UTF-8 or some
other explicit i18n/NLS, but the inetutils bare-bones ftp client
doesn't, and won't.
