You have two alternatives here:

   1. Install the inetutils package so you're using the Cygwin FTP client
      (or pick an alternative Cygwin package offering your favorite FTP
       client).

   2. Continue to use the Windows FTP client but only do so from a shell
      prompt started from cmd.exe (i.e. no Mintty, xterm, etc).
