This connection is not going to be encrypted, because you didn't use ftps:
or --ftp-ssl.

Looks like the server is complaining that you are sending your password in
cleartext.

Same thing--no encryption.

Looks here like this server doesn't recognize your user ID.

Try the first example again, but use --ftp-ssl like I suggested.
