One difference is that NT has a concept of a domain and you must use this together with a user name. If I had a NT account in a domain called unixfolks, I would give my user name as unixfolks/perderabo.

Another difference is that the output from the ftp dir command looks like the output from an ms-dos dir command. You can use the command "site dirstyle" to make it look more unix-like.

That really is about it. I have ftp'ed into an NT box as I write this (from a unix system) and I don't really notice too much else.
