In one scenario of TCP world, a 'broken pipe' error occurs when the other end of the connection(must be win2000pc in ur case) closes, and this end (unix) ignores the closure.
An ftp session establishes 2 distinct TCP connections between the source and destination: one for control information transfer which will be alive till you close the ftp session and the other is for the data transfer, which is established and closed for every get/put ftp command.
I assume that the control connection might have been closed from one end, which was ignored from the source end. And, still the source host would have continued sending some control information to the other end...and hence the broken pipe.

PIPE(2) System Calls Manual PIPE(2)
NAME
pipe - create an interprocess channel
SYNOPSIS
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
int pipe(int fd[2])
DESCRIPTION
Pipe creates a buffered channel for interprocess I/O communication. Two file descriptors are returned in fd. Data written to fd[1] is
available for reading from fd[0] and data written to fd[0] is available for reading from fd[1].
After the pipe has been established, cooperating processes created by subsequent fork(2) calls may pass data through the pipe with read and
write calls. The bytes placed on a pipe by one write are contiguous even if many processes are writing. Write boundaries are preserved:
each read terminates when the read buffer is full or after reading the last byte of a write, whichever comes first.
The number of bytes available to a read(2) is reported in the Length field returned by fstat or dirfstat on a pipe (see stat(2)).
When all the data has been read from a pipe and the writer has closed the pipe or exited,
read(2) will return 0 bytes. Writes to a pipe with no reader will generate a note sys: write on closed pipe.
SOURCE
/sys/src/libc/9syscall
SEE ALSO
intro(2), read(2), pipe(3)
DIAGNOSTICS
Sets errstr.
BUGS
If a read or a write of a pipe is interrupted, some unknown number of bytes may have been transferred.
When a read from a pipe returns 0 bytes, it usually means end of file but is indistinguishable from reading the result of an explicit write
of zero bytes.
