If you have ux and windows both installed (u cant have both running simultaneously), then, well, as far as i know till red hat 7, u have to have windows first installed and then linux over it. windows should use FAT and not NTFS. With this setup, you can now access the windows partition by mounting it. see man mount and umount for more info on accessing this partition
If you have windows on another box, and you just want to see the directory content when u are running an ftp script on unix, then you may use the command dir on your ftp prompt
if you have some gui tool like windows explorer installed on your linux system ( recommend kde), then you can also put the address "ftp://id
assword@remote/dir" in the address bar and get to this folder to view the contents
hope atleast one of the above solution applies to your case.
