Well, that's going to depend on:
* What sort of FTP client software you (want to) use;
* Whether or not there are any kinds of "firewalls" between you and

pau-amma[2]% ncftp -L ftp.freebsd.org
NcFTP 2.4.2 (October 28, 1996), by Mike Gleason, NCEMRSoft.
Tip: If you miss the old "macdef init" macros which "ftp" ran when a specific
site was opened, you can still do it with NcFTP. You need to put macros
in your "macros" file named ".open.<sitename>" where <sitename> is the
nickname assigned to the host.
