You can use wget, both on your machine itself to measure download speed
rate, as well as on a remote machine for measuring the speed with which
your FTP server offers data. Choose big files for transfer.

What exactly do you want to achieve? Do you want to activate the scroll
wheel totally or only click functionality while the wheel shall still
roll? What are your actual settings?

Do you get a shell prompt or the ftp prompt? The ftp RPM is installed?
You must have changed something if ftp on command line did work before.
