if you have Python, here's an alternative
Code:
import ftplib
server="localhost"
user="anonymous"
password="test@hotmail.com"
def myfilter(line):
     if "ter.txt" in line: print "found: ",line     
try:
    ftp = ftplib.FTP(server)
    ftp.login(user,password)    
except Exception,e:
    print e
else:    
    ftp.cwd("/home/bin")
    ftp.retrlines('LIST',myfilter)
    ftp.close()
