https://github.com/sergi/jsftp#ftpgetremotepath-callback will provide a Stream that you can listen to data events on. E.g.

client.get('your_file_here.txt', (err, socket) => {
  if (err) return console.log(err);

  const chunks = [];

  // `data` events to gather data, log progress
  socket.on('data', data => {
    console.log(`Received ${data.length} bytes`);
    chunks.push(data);
  });

  socket.on('end', () => {
    const contents = Buffer.concat(chunks);
    // (assuming contents are utf-8 encoded here
    console.log('File contents', contents.toString('utf8'));
  });

  socket.resume();
});

Unfortunately put() takes a Buffer, not a Stream, so I'm not sure there's a simple way to monitor upload progress. (Disclaimer: My experience with this module is limited to the above code so far, so this is not a canonical answer by any means.)
