.netrc and Automatic ftp problem

Guy's

We have two AIX servers

Server1 and Server2

and we have created user1 in Server1 and Server2 ...

and .netrc file was confiured under /home/user1 with the below line

machine server2 login user1 password abc1234567

-rw------- 1 user1 staff 159 Sep 28 2004 .netrc

When I try to do FTP to the belwo I'm getting the below message and its asking me user name and password !

ftp server2
Connected to server2
220 server2 FTP server (Version 4.2 Wed Apr 11 11:55:13 CDT 2007) ready.
Name (server2 :user1):

is there any missing or needed configuration need to be done on the server to let the FTP continuing to server2 without asking for password ?
