Support for cygwin
------------------

                 Key: NET-227
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-227
             Project: Commons Net
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.4
         Environment: Client: Windows Server 2003.  FTP Server: Tumbleweed 
running on Windows Server 2003 running CYGWIN.  Commons net version 1.4.1.
            Reporter: codemonkey
             Fix For: 1.4


When the client sends a SYST command, the server responds with "215 Cygwin 
Type: L8".  The createFileEntryParser method of the 
DefaultFTPFileEntryParserFactory class does not have an entry in that block of 
if statements there to catch and work with Cygwin.  I am using a limited set of 
ftp commands in the project I'm working on, but so far everything seems to work 
fine when I alias Cygwin to unix.  I'm not sure if there are any other 
complexities around this, or if there is a better way to do this, but I'm sure 
y'all will know :)

Here's what I added:

FTPClientConfig.java

    In the constant definitions at the beginning of the class starting at line 
140, I added the following:

    /**
     * Identifier by which a unix emulation-based ftp server is known throughout
     * the commons-net ftp system.
     */
        
    public static final String SYST_CYGWIN = "CYGWIN";

DefaultFTPFileEntryParserFactory.java

    In the first catch block starting at line 85 in the createFileEntryParser 
method, I added the following to the existing else if statements:

    else if (ukey.indexOf(FTPClientConfig.SYST_CYGWIN) >= 0)
    {
        parser = createUnixFTPEntryParser();
    }
