Well to be fair telnet can be used to connect to many standard services, I
use it for email and web testing quite a lot for instance. It's very
useful when you want to know what's going on.

But it is only any good with services which use a single connection,
initiated by the client, using a plain text protocol. Which does not
include FTP, either active or passive. There is always a second connection
involved.

So you are right, use an FTP client. The command line one is quite
acceptable in all Linux distros I have encountered. If the OP wants to do
something special with FTP, well, the source is there

I see you missed my sarcasm.
