Maybe you need to tell it your password and username?

A snip from the ncftp manpage

open Establishes an FTP control connection to a remote host.
By default, ncftp logs in anonymously to the remote host.
You may want to use a specific user account when you log in,
so you can use the ‘‘-u’’ flag to specify which user.
This example shows how to open the host
‘‘bowser.nintendo.co.jp’’ using the username ‘‘mario:’’

open -u mario bowser.nintendo.co.jp

Here is a list of options available for use with the open
command:

-u XX Use username XX instead of anonymous.

-p XX Use password XX with the username.


You can also pass those options with the invocation of ncftp.
