Now that you mention it, I must be running MS's ftp. This is a new behavior, though (not necessary a bad one now that I know I was using MS's ftp). I have used ftp through xterm many many times in the past, and tried to ftp into GNU.org literally right after finishing installing Cygwin updates (unfortunately, I cannot remember all of the packages I downloaded...there may have been some X packages). Anyway, I tried installing ncftp to make sure I am not using MS's ftp and all seems well again. Thanks for the help.
