You really have a keen eye! However, the string "SYSTEM" doesn't have
anything to do with the problem since I just
set the PS1 environment variable to "SYSTEM" since I don't want it
printing my name.
My PS1 is set to: PS1="SYSTEM \w\n$ "
And of course, if I change PS1 to the cygwin default (as shown below),
ftp still won't work.
SYSTEM /
$ export PS1='\[\033]0;\w\007

ftp: ftp/tcp: unknown service
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Carlo
