Some FTP clients (including the MPE FTP client at various times in the past)
have trouble with "welcome" messages issued by the remote FTP server.

Ask whoever runs the FTP server if there is special username or password syntax
you can use to suppress the "230-" welcome message stuff for your connection.
IIRC some FTP servers let you specify a leading hyphen character in the
password to suppress the welcome stuff.
