Well, it the 'connect' is not excepting, you do have an ftp server,
somewhere. You absolutely do need to have one :)
As Remy says, your local FTP server, (presumably the Windows FTP service),
probably does not have permissions for C:\ by default.

The Linux box will almost certainly have an FTP server running. The
permissons/privileges issue will apply on that box as well, perhaps even
more so since the Unix default position on almost everything is
'insufficient privilege' or 'Access denied' <g>
