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!

DESCRIPTION

PARAMETERS

	      o $ftp_stream
		- The link identifier of the FTP connection.

	      o $command
		- The SITE command. Note that this parameter isn't escaped so there may be some issues with filenames containing spaces and  other
		characters.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Sending a SITE command to an ftp server

	      <?php
	      // Connect to FTP server
	      $conn = ftp_connect('ftp.example.com');
	      if (!$conn) die('Unable to connect to ftp.example.com');

	      // Login as "user" with password "pass"
	      if (!ftp_login($conn, 'user', 'pass')) die('Error logging into ftp.example.com');

	      // Issue: "SITE CHMOD 0600 /home/user/privatefile" command to ftp server
	      if (ftp_site($conn, 'CHMOD 0600 /home/user/privatefile')) {
		 echo "Command executed successfully.
";
	      } else {
		 die('Command failed.');
