Either is achievable through Homebrew: Installing ftp in MacOS with inetutils You have two options, one is to install inetutils (which also includes some other useful packages), or you can install tnftp. If you have not already installed Homebrew on the Mac, you will need to do so before beginning with this particular approach. If you don’t need ftp, there’s no reason to install it. Accordingly, certain Mac users may need to install and run ftp as a client, or ftpd as a server, which is who this tutorial is geared for. These decisions were probably made to favor the more secure encrypted protocols of SFTP (and ssh), but nonetheless some users may still need to regularly use the older ftp transfer protocol, even if it’s not particularly secure. Likewise, telnet was removed in favor of ssh.
For some quick background, modern versions of Mac OS pulled ftp to instead emphasize SFTP usage.
