FreeBSD comes with an ftp daemon and an ftp client.  Both work
reasonably well.  If you're looking for something better in the
way of a console-mode FTP client for FreeBSD, try NcFTP, I've used
it in the past and it allows you to make bookmarks and such for
sites.  There are also some FTP servers in the ports tree.

Install and configure LPRNG, it's what I use to print to our
networked HP printer at work here.  Not sure how FreeBSD interacts with
a printer on a Win2k box though.
