It's a nice non-graphical ftp client (someone may have a GUI front-end for it) that comes with most linuxes that I've seen, and if not, it's free to download and use. Plus, by default it supports auto-complete (tab to complete) and I believe the default behavior is to resume file transfers if you reconnect and start to download something you already have partially downloaded.
