No, just need to RTFM. IIRC it is explained that the visual mode was
removed from ncftp 3.x. Personally, lftp is a much better client. It
doesn't have visual mode, either, but I've never missed that. But lftp, as
of 1.2, does automatic regetting, multiple connections, bandwidth throttling
on a per connection or global basis, mirroring that works both ways and
much, much more. I wish there was a way to use lftp as the FTP client when
retrieving files with dpkg/dselect/apt.
