It appears you have something in ~/.netrc which is triggering an
attempt at automatically logging in, and that it is failing on
that particular server.
Note that you do have the opportunity to login! At the final
prompt, ftp>, you can enter "user xxxx", and login will proceed
as usual.
But most likely what you would prefer is to skip all of that,
and that means editing your ~/.netrc file to provide the
correct commands initially. You'll need an entry something
like one of the following,
# This will attempt to login as user "anonymous" and will
# automatically provide what it thinks is your email address
# as the password
machine project-neko.com
# This will attempt to login as user "dave", and will
# prompt you for a password.
machine project-neko.com login dave
# This will attempt to login as user "dave", prompt
# you for a password, and then perform each of the
# commands defined by the macro named "init".
machine project-neko.com login dave
macdef init
binary # binary mode transfers
prompt off # don't prompt
verbose off # don't be verbose
cd /private/dave # set remote cwd
lcd /home/dave/project-neko # set local cwd
