This is not true, at least on Win2000.  ftp works fine and connects to my
Zope server.  What may be fooling people is that it doesn't take command
line arguments.  You have to run it with the "ftp" command.  Then you type

open localhost 8021 <ENTER>

Then it asks for user id and password.  Works fine.  I just did it.
