I don't understand what's wrong.

Do you login anonymously, or with your user account?

Try installing a command line based ftp client (apt-get install ftp),
then login. it would be interesting to run the command "pwd" to make
sure you are in the expected folder. I've attached a typical ftp session
below, in case you are not familiar with it.
