https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gftp
shows, that `gftp' is in wheezy, and all the same in stretch --- v2.0.19

FWIW, you may have a temporary /etc/apt/sources.list having only a
stretch main  line like this:
deb http://<your-mirror.debian.tld>/debian/ stretch main
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is your mirror url!
    Preserve it. Please dont copy from here!

and run `apt-get update` and `apt-get install gftp` as root.

And then restore the original sources.list back in place.

If you favor gui, you may use a combination of gedit and synaptic or
else, just as you please.

Others have spoken the worth of Filezilla, and its memory footprint as
well. If you are even a little bit text oriented, try lftp, it has a
highly user-friendly (text) interface.

| Examples:
| 
|       lftp> cat file | gzip > file.gz
|       lftp> get file &
|       lftp> (cd /path && get file) &
| 
| The first command retrieves file from ftp server and passes its contents
| to gzip which in turn stores compressed data to file.gz. Other commands
| show how to start commands or command groups in background.
