Many thanks. I'm home free now.
I would have rtfm'd the man pages as is suggested by the dselect apt

This helps, thanks.
All: there should be man pages in the base package -- if not full man
pages, and binaries, then certainly enough information that how to specify
an ftp login and password is clear.
