Have you not read the recent thread on _kbhit?  Explicitly using a
Windows-provided function in cygwin is counterproductive, since the point
of cygwin is POSIX compliant and POSIX doesn't provide windows functions.
 The rest of this thread details tricks that may make it possible to use
FtpCommand, but if you are truly trying to write a portable app that also
works on unix, then when compiling for Cygwin you should use Unix
conventions and not Windows functions.  If you want to use Windows
conventions, then investigate mingw.
