It sounds like your people and their people are telling you the same thing in different words. Site ftp.aa.bb.com is apparently a private host name, not known to the public internet DNS system. And so to reach it, you will have to add an entry to the host table on your end that maps ftp.aa.bb.com to its IP address. That IP address must be a publicly routable IP address or else you won't be able to reach it no matter what you do.
