I have defined aliases in the config file .lftprc as below-

alias ftp_server_X 99.999.999.999

From the command prompt when I run

lftp -e "open -u user,password 99.999.999.999"

it connects to the server.

But when I try to use the alias name in the command 

lftp -e "open -u user,password ftp_server_X"

I get error 'open: ftp_server_X: Name or service not known'

Need help in resolving this error.

lftp aliases are for commands, not for host names. Try bookmarks instead:

bookmark add ftp_server_X 99.99.99.99
