Well thanks to @npostavs it seems I found the problem.

After modifying the code as the info on the link @npostavs gave me ( the 'function in the code is wrong the 'format is for lists not for functions ) the following changed code seemed to work but it generated another error.

(defun ftp_site_connect()
  (interactive)
  ( ange-ftp-set-passwd "ftp.site.com" "username" "password" )
  ( find-file "/username@ftp.site.com:/" )
  )

(ftp_site_connect)

So, I found out that the function ange-ftp-set-passwd didn't exist on my server and that I had to setup the passwords through the .netrc file instead doing it inline. After changing again the code now seems to work perfectly.

;; Add first the user and password to the .netrc file like this:
;; machine HOST login NAME password PASSWD
;; and change the permissions on that file to chmod 600
;; -------------------------------------------------------------
(defun ftp_site_connect()
      (interactive)
      ( find-file "/username@ftp.site.com:/" )
      )

    (ftp_site_connect)

Thank you everyone for your help.
