Ftp to windows server from linux?

I am trying to ftp to windows server on port 8021 from linux but its giving error services not found. But when I ftp from windows using cute ftp its working fine.
Whats wrong with linux

$ftp
ftp> open x.x.x.x:8021
Its giving error > name or services not known
But same way I login to linux server there is no problem.

What kind of FTP server are you running on the windows box and is it setup for port 8021?

Yes its setup on port 8021
When I use cute ftp I have to specify 8021 port.

have you tried at the command line

ftp Ip_ADDRESS PORT
(notice there isn't a colon)

It took me awhile to understand the problem.

You are using cuteftp on windows to access the linux ftp server.

But you can not connect to the ftp server locally i.e. on the linux box.

Have you tried:

ftp localhost

My perating system Linux. I want to acess windows server to download some files. And windows ftp server is configured on port 8021. I can ftp from my windows machine to windows server using cute ftp on port 8021.
But when I try to ftp from my linux machine to windows server on port 8021 its giving error.
