I need an ftp client that runs on an Intel x86 machine running Win98 SE that

this?
This is on a lab data-acquisition machine with old D-to-A hardware and
software that will only run from Win98 booted into command-prompt mode.
Upgrading would be too expensive. At the end of every day, I need to back up
the data. I can do it now if I boot full Win98. Since that's pretty slow,
I'd rather just ftp from the Win98 command line. It's possible that our IT
guy is capable of setting up an ssh/scp server that I could access.
I expect that the FTP client that comes with the "inetutils" package from Cygwin
(1.5 for O/Ss < NT 4.0) would work for you. But correct me if I'm wrong,
doesn't
Win98 have it's own command-line FTP client. It's been so long since I had
to do
anything with Win98....
