On Win32, you should consider using Microsoft's WinInet API whether you use 
FTP or HTTP.  If you use that API, you can by default inherit the settings 
in the Internet control panel that IE uses.  That way, you wont have to 
either force people to configure FTP settings (like passive mode for those 
of us behind lame firewalls) in ncFTP, nor have to expose these settings in 
your app.
