You should have apt-get setup from your install. If you are happy to use
wget
(which is a fie ftp tool for retrieving files) you almost certainly have it
installed now.

If you want the standard ftp client installed,
apt-get -y update # this updates information about where current packages
are
apt-get install ftp
and apt-get figures where the latest applicable to your system is and gets
it,
along with any dependencies.
