    It sounds like you don't have ftp.domain.com configured in the DNS

     

    You have a couple of options

    1) Add a CNAME or A record for FTP pointed to your server

    2) Use the IP address of the server

    3) Use domain.com for the host

    When you go into the domain manager https://dcc.godaddy.com you can select your domain and manage DNS and add it there
