Thanks to all and Lennart.

Lennart helped me to have solved the problem.

It turns out, that the ftp program bundled with Windows at
“C:/Windows/system32/ftp.exe”
does not work with emacs. (at least in my case)

The one bundled with emacsW32 at
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Emacs/EmacsW32/gnuwin32/bin/"
made the difference.

Thanks.

overall, maybe this is still a bug for GNU emacs 23 on Windows, since out of 
the box it doesn't work.
