Seems to work fine for me: $ wget ftp://ftp.fit.vutbr.cz/pub/XFree86/4.3.0/source/\* --22:02:15-- ftp://ftp.fit.vutbr.cz/pub/XFree86/4.3.0/source/* => `.listing' Resolving ftp.fit.vutbr.cz... 147.229.9.30 Connecting to ftp.fit.vutbr.cz[147.229.9.30]:21... connected.

Length: 1,392,966 (and so on) I think this may have something to do with the fact that you're using a proxy. I'm not sure how wget uses 'ftp_proxy', presumably with a HTTP CONNECT method, right? There's no such thing as a true native ftp proxy. So maybe it's getting confused? But if it works for you under linux (assuming the same upstream version of both) then I don't know. What I do know is this couldn't possibly have anything to do with Cygwin directly, except for perhaps the Cygwin upstream version of wget is not as fresh as the one you're using on linux.
