The x:\...\system32\ftp.exe works not in all language depend contexts,
e.g. German. That's the reason why I am got the one from
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/faq8.html#ange-ftp
This works very fine for me. I put it in front of /usr/bin/ftp.exe.
On my system this is e.g e:/cygwin/usr/local/bin aka
/usr/local/bin/ftp.exe. For command line operation I am using too the
great ncftp.exe program.
