What's the point of forwarding headers back to the list?  If you *must*
do this for some reason, edit out email address as I have done above.

This still isn't great information on what specifically you're doing and
where you see the problem but it is enough information to state that the
FTP client you're using isn't Cygwin's.  Install the 'inetutils' package
if you want Cygwin's 'ftp'.  Otherwise, I'm afraid you're slipping into
the realm of the "off-topic".
