It won't log in, it will dial and connect.
It won't 'dial and log into'.  It will dial and won't 'log into'.

I just tried all three ways.  You need to specify remote directory and I 
am using the username for that too. But the program objects to USER
ftpput: USER error: 'USER .s18.cps17104.students

At the other ftp site the username worked okay as the directory but it had 
no '.' in it.
