See if remote connections are indeed enabled on your server. In SQL 2005, it is in the Surface Are Configuration utility (under the SQL 2005 program group).

Couple of thoughts/comments:

1. I assume that Server is server name and GANGA is the named instance.
2. The file C:\FTP\mail.SQL is on the local machine.

Are able to run any commands at all? For example:

xp_cmdshell 'sqlcmd -S Server\GANGA -Q "SELECT getdate()"'
