Yes, that's exactly what you can do with mc.

1) start mc

2) cd /#ftp:ftp.freebsd.org

3) navigate away, copy files from server, and so on. Just as you would
to with local directories on your HD.

You might have to do some configuration, eg use of passive mode, default
username and so on. But sure it works.
