530 “User cannot log in” on Microsoft FTP Server (works in FileZilla)

[Mat40]

Describe the bug
I’m encountering a 530 User cannot log in error when attempting to connect to a Microsoft FTP server using basic-ftp in Node.js. I’ve confirmed that the credentials and the IP address are correct, and I can successfully connect via FileZilla from the same IP with the same credentials. The server does not use TLS, so I’m connecting with secure: false.

Example code

const ftp = require("basic-ftp")

async function test() {
    const client = new ftp.Client()
    client.ftp.verbose = true
    
    try {
        await client.access({
            host: "192.168.65.89",
            user: "ftpuser",
            password: "PassWord=",
            port: 21,
            secure: false // No TLS
        })
        console.log("Connection successful!")
        console.log(await client.list())
        
    } catch(err) {
        console.error("FTP error:", err)
    } finally {
        client.close()
    }
}

test()

Console output

Additional context

• The same credentials from the same IP work correctly when using FileZilla.
• The FTP server is a Microsoft FTP Service and does not use TLS (secure: false is set).
• The connection fails with a 530 User cannot log in despite matching credentials.
