I tried it and I succeeded to login in both case equivalently.

I found a series of login failures in the logfile of the FTP server
like follows, so I think the problem might caused because you sent
invalid password "NcFTP@" for "anonymous".

230  Now you can select a FTP SERVER by cd //SERVER

is a help message for users who are using the FTP-DeleGate as a FTP-proxy
to reach the target FTP server, like cd //ftp.ietf.org.

From the beginning of this month, the FTP server ftp.delegate.org
has been in a firewall which does not pass PASV command.
