Attention JARI AALTO - Re: 1.7.7 wput fails to connect to FTP server

[Christopher Faylor <cgf-use-the-mailinglist-please at cygwin dot com>]

I've bcc'ed the wput maintainer since they are (rather alarmingly?) not
subscribed to the Cygwin mailing list.

Jari, could you help this person out?  He's been patiently reporting
problems with wput for some time now.
