Check that web
http://packages.ubuntu.com/

Download packages by:
Code: 
sudo apt-get install -y package_name
or install aptitude
Code: 
sudo apt-get install -y aptitude
and then use aptitude to search packages:
Code: 
sudo [B]aptitude search some_info[/B]
On example:
[B]sudo aptitude search irc[/B]     = you will get some packages with name 'irc' in description of the package or in package name
Don't forget to update stuff on linux:
Code: 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
And that's for a start!

Got questions?

Um, since he's new to Ubuntu why wouldn't he just use the Software Center instead of all that Terminal mumbo jumbo? There's gonna be time for that later, let's do the basics now.

Applications - Ubuntu Software Center
 
Ubuntu already has an FTP/SSH cilent. When you go to Places, you go to the connect thing...at least I think it's in that menu lol. I'm not at my Ubuntu computer at the moment...I'm at the school using shitty Windows.
