FTP not working after account upgrade

I'm trying to download multiple files on a linux server. The command I was given is

xargs -n 1 /usr/bin/curl -1 -v --disable-epsv --ftp-skip-pasv-ip -u [personal information--redacted]:XX -O --ftp-ssl < FilesURLs.txt

I get an error message that ftp is not enabled for free users. I upgraded to "Personal Pro" but still get the error message. Thanks in advance for any help.

USER [personal information--redacted]

< 331 User name okay, need password for [personal information--redacted]

Hi Jeff,

Welcome to the Box Community!

FTP is available to business and enterprise accounts — except trial accounts — for bulk migration of data. Unfortunately, it is not available for personal accounts (free or pro).

More details can be found in this article on Using Box with FTP: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697414-Using-Box-with-FTP-or-FTPS

Thanks for your question and let us know how else we can help!

Best,
