For any possible settings needed, I'll direct you to the FTP
man page.  If there's a way to do it, it will be listed there.
In general, this is not a Cygwin issue.  It's a general FTP 
issue.  You would have the same result if you used a native 
Windows FTP server.  Cygwin's FTP server will create native 
text files just like a Windows FTP server will when text mode
transfer is selected.
