User ID syntax to FTP to Windows

Hello,

I have searched the forums and may not be putting in the right keywords, but hopefully someone will be kind enough to help...

It's been awhile since I've ftp'd to a Windows server, but no matter how I try to connect, it will not let me, although I have no issues setting up a connection for the same ID in FTP-Pro and connecting.

On the command line, I am trying the following:

ftp fullyqualified.servername.com

when it prompts me for the user name I have tried:

ms/username
username
"ms/username"

and every variable in between - single quotes, even back slashes or back quotes (which don't work either of course). It *does* accept the user, but when I put in the password, at that point it simply says login failed. I use this ID every day on other servers, so I know the password is correct, and the ID is set up on the UNIX servers, but I can tell through FTP-pro that it's a windows FTP server because the ID there is set up as "ms/username".

I have also tried:

ftp -niv fullyqualified.servername.com

and it doesn't ask me right away for the user and password, but when I go to change directories, then it says "530 Please login with USER and PASS."

How can I successfully log-in?

When I have scripted connections like this elsewhere in the past, I always scripted it as:

ftp -niv fullyqualified.servername.com
ftp -nv ${FTPHOST} << ENDFTP >> ${TMPLOG} 2>&1
user ${FTPUSER} ${FTPPASS}
get ${FILE}
quit
ENDFTP

or

ftp -niv fullyqualified.servername.com
ftp -nv ${FTPHOST} << ENDFTP >> ${TMPLOG} 2>&1
quote user ${FTPUSER}
quote pass ${FTPPASS}
get ${FILE}
quit
ENDFTP

None of this is working for me though, no matter what I try...

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!

ftpconfig

ftpconfig(1M)						  System Administration Commands					     ftpconfig(1M)

NAME

       ftpconfig - set up anonymous FTP

SYNOPSIS

       ftpconfig [ftpdir]

       ftpconfig -d ftpdir

DESCRIPTION

       The ftpconfig script is executed by the super user to set up anonymous FTP. Anonymous FTP allows users to remotely log on to the FTP server
       by specifying the user name  ftp or anonymous and the user's email  address as password. The anonymous users  are  logged  on  to  the  FTP
       Server  and  given  access to a restricted file area with its own file system root. See chroot(2). The FTP area has  its own minimal system
       files.

       This command will copy and set up all the components needed to operate an anonymous FTP server, including creating the  ftp  user  account,
       creating  device  nodes,  copying  /usr/lib files, and copying timezone data.  The passwd and group files set up have been stripped down to
       prevent malicious users from finding login names on the server.	The anonymous file area will be placed	under  ftpdir.	If  the  ftp  user
       account already exists, then the current FTP area is used, and the system files in it are updated. All other files are left untouched. This
       command should be run to update the anonymous FTP area's configuration whenever a system patch is installed, or the system is upgraded.

OPTIONS

       -d	Create a new or update an existing ftpdir without creating or updating the ftp user account. Use this option when  creating  guest
		FTP user accounts.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       ftpdir	The absolute pathname of the directory under which the anonymous FTP area is set up.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion

       1	Improper usage of the command

       2	Command failed
