Some FTP servers has IP restriction on it. So that if you happened to be connecting to the server from a range of IP outside the scope or outside the subnet, it will simply refuse to authenticate (for security purpose) and give 530 error.

e.g. if you are a BT openworld broadband customer with a free ftp hosting account, and you are connecting to the intenet using and AOL dialup, for security reasons, the FTP server can refuse the login.
