FTP connection using cmmd line from linux server

Hello, I’m trying to upload a large vcf file from a server using command line to the ftp client. The online help page (here: Galaxy FTP Upload) is a little confusing on when to include user name and password.

I have tried:
ftp -u “my user email” usegalaxy.org
ftp “my user email” usegalaxy.org
ftp “my user email” password usegalaxy.org

None of which connect me. Can I get some help?
