I'm developing a FTP script to send some files to another one FTP server. That FTP server is 128 bit SSL enabled. While trying to login to the system, I'm getting the following error:

ftp> open ftp.sample.com 20021
Connected to ftp.sample.com.
220 <<<Connect:Enterprise UNIX 2.2.00 Secure FTP>>> at cewebb1u FTP server ready. Time = 12:21:31
Name (ftp.sample.com:ssankar): cf255500
503 Bad sequence of commands, must secure connection before USER command.
Login failed.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.

Kindly let me know how to connect to the server.

Have you tried using the secure sftp instead of the insecure ftp?

Thanks for your immediate response.

But, the target FTP server doesn't support SFTP. They support only 128 bit SSL FTP.

How about FTPS?

If you want to do this with a Perl script:

Hi,

you haven't yet logged in to the ftp-server,
you still have to provide your userid and your password (what you have not done according to the log information).
The remote server will prompt you for your userid/name and your password.

Yeah, to use sftp, ssh must be enabled. Have you installed a certificate yet?
