None of the above tools seemed to know anything about ncftp, and it has been around for at least 10 years, and is available for just about every distro, sometimes by default.

This hit me fairly hard as well when I first started using CentOS, as it had become a good standby. Once I discovered lftp, it was fairly simple to see why it wasn't included. Lftp seems to mimic all the behavior that was useful from ncftp and drop everything that was painful. It also includes the equivalent of ncftpget with lftpget, which IMHO really does make it a drop in replacement.
