You appear to have typed the argument to an ftp program, but neglected
to invoke an ftp program to handle the argument you typed, and the shell
has no obligation to figure out what you mean, as a browser would, for
instance. In the shell, you might want to type something like:
ftp ftp://domain.tld
for a primitive ftp experience. The first token, "ftp" in this case, is
the ftp program, while the second token, " ftp://domain.tld"; is the
argument to that program. FWIW I prefer ncftp to vanilla ftp.
