I'm confused as to why you are even including a name and password when the
server is running anonymous FTP. AFAIK, to log into an anonymous FTP
server, you use this type of URL:

ftp://ftpserver.com/

It's only when you *need* authentication that you use:

ftp://username:email@hidden

So just remove the username and password stuff from your script.
