Default

ftp command not found means ftp client is not installed. Type the following command to install ftp client:
Code:
apt-get install ftp
To install vsftpd ftp server type the following command:
Code:
apt-get install vsftpd
To configure vsftpd look at /etc/vsftpd.conf

Now you should able to run
Code:
ftp localhost
ftp ftp.remote.server.com
ftp server-ip
ftp 192.182.5.1
