What version of Windows are you using? - the FTP client is different in each one.
I suspect, though, that the problem is that you have to use "USER" command to log in. For example, if you don't have an account on the ftp server you are logging into - you would do a "USER anonymous" to log in anonymously.

AFAIK, with Win98, the dos FTP command goes like this:
C:\WINDOWS>ftp
ftp> open server.com
Connected to planettribes.com.
220 Server Host program.
User (server.com:(none)): Enter Username
331 Password required for Username
Password: Enter password here. Will not show.
230 User Username logged in.
ftp>
And after that you use basic commands like cd, del, send, get, copy...
So you should be prompted for a username/pass combo. At any time while running MS-dos FTP, just type in "?" to see a list of commands, or "? Command" to get help on what Command does.

PLEASE don't tell me you tried the IP address of a computer you knew was running an FTP server... And not just any old computer. Otherwise I think you are mixing FTP up with Windows Shares.
