Indeed, ncftp does not return error messages as expected by
ange-ftp. See this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ncftp / > get xxx
get xxx: server said: Failed to open file.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ftp> get xxx
local: xxx remote: xxx
200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.
550 Failed to open file.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So I doubt it will be simple to train ange-ftp understanding ncftp.
