When I try to build IPFS from Windows 7 64 bit OS with Go 1.10.2, I got following error message:

Transfers files to and from a computer running an FTP server service  
(sometimes called a daemon). Ftp can be used interactively.

FTP [-v] [-d] [-i] [-n] [-g] [-s:filename] [-a] [-A] [-x:sendbuffer] [-r:recvbuffer] [-b:asyncbuffers] [-w:windowsize] [host]

-v Suppresses display of remote server responses.  
-n Suppresses auto-login upon initial connection.  
-i Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file  
transfers.  
-d Enables debugging.  
-g Disables filename globbing (see GLOB command).  
-s:filename Specifies a text file containing FTP commands; the  
commands will automatically run after FTP starts.  
-a Use any local interface when binding data connection.  
-A login as anonymous.  
-x:send sockbuf Overrides the default SO\_SNDBUF size of 8192.  
-r:recv sockbuf Overrides the default SO\_RCVBUF size of 8192.  
-b:async count Overrides the default async count of 3  
-w:windowsize Overrides the default transfer buffer size of 65535.  
host Specifies the host name or IP address of the remote  
host to connect to.

Notes:

- mget and mput commands take y/n/q for yes/no/quit.
- Use Control-C to abort commands.
