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.
while this is a practical solution, it is only a partial one, as the
anonymous login *might* require a password that looks like an email
address.
If you ever used ftp from the command line (and ten years ago this
was very common), you would have noticed that anonymous ftp server
often asked you to enter your email address. Although not compulsory
(in most cases) it is a matter of courtesy to comply.
