Nelson,

There is another ftp program that comes with Emacs+EmacsW32. I included 
that in the package because I could not get the ftp program that comes 
with MS Windows to work reliably for me.

Maybe you can test both? The one that comes with Emacs+EmacsW32 will be 
the default if you use the patched version.

(But at the moment my website is down. I will try to fix that tomorrow.)
