Thye Chean,
 Assuming you actually have the program "FTP" at your site, you 
should consult the manual pages (ie type the following: man ftp)
for how to actually use the program.

As for sites, two of the best I've found are:
tybalt.caltech.edu (login name: anonymous, password: your email address)
wuarchive.wustl.edu (same login steps as above)

Both have a large amount of useful programs, and wuarchive also
has an enormous amount of stuff for other machines.

For the Apple // stuff, make sure you get ShrinkitGS and Binscii
(of you could use the GScii NDA). These are essential for 
processing the files you recieve. First use Binscii to convert
to text file to a Shrinkit archive file. Then use Shrinkit to
convert the archive back into its constituent files.
