I was going to suggest the same thing.  Note, however, that Windows, and 
MS-DOS have always accepted both, ever since MS-DOS 2.0 added subdirectory 
support.

It's also quite possible that the Windows ftp server only allows access to 
some directories, similar to how a Unix ftp server may chroot() to change 
the root directory as seen by the ftp connection.  On that case, it may 
simply not be possible to get to the "documents and settings" directory 
without some reconfiguring of the ftp server.
