Thanks, Luke, I'll take a look if you haven't already.  Adding a space 
between I and c may help, "-I c:/foo".

No, it's supposed to delete the script if ftp.exe is available.  The 
ftp.exe came from msysDTK and the script is execute the Windows supplied 
version in a %COMPSPEC% shell so that problems with interoperability 
with rxvt and Windows ftp are masked.  If the ftp script remains, that's 
what is executed.
