    is it a local ftp server, within your network?
    go to options, before selecting ftp, in the same menu, type
    for freebsd version 'any'... and eventually change the username from
    'ftp' to 'anonymous' (though this should not be an issue). if its not a
    local ftp server then i cant help it from here...which server you are
    trying to contact for installation if its not a local ftp server?
