This is copied out of the package description:

 Dftp can also be run on a non-Debian machine in the case where the
 Debian machine does not have FTP access.  For this, stand-alone
 versions of dftp, in both "csh" and "perl" source, are available under
 /debian/project/misc.

Unfortunately I can't help with pointers to documentation because I use only
dpkg-ftp. Perhaps somebody else who uses dftp ?
