edited title to be specific to actual problem since the purpose of why you want to use FTP is unrelated to the entire tool missing on macOS (shown by the "command not found" rather than an error from the FTP tool)

Missing ftp command line tool on macOS

Use ftp to obtain source code.

I am following a linux command line book to learning compiling.

[me@linuxbox src]$ ftp ftp.gnu.org 
Connected to ftp.gnu.org. 
220 GNU FTP server ready.

I tried and it reported an error

$ ftp ftp://ftp.gnu.org/
-bash: ftp: command not found

$ ftp 
-bash: ftp: command not found

How to solve the problem?

bash ftp
