ftp from Win98 in command-only mode?

I need an ftp client that runs on an Intel x86 machine running Win98 SE that
has been booted into mode 5 ("Command prompt only").  Can cygwin provide
this?

This is on a lab data-acquisition machine with old D-to-A hardware and
software that will only run from Win98 booted into command-prompt mode.
Upgrading would be too expensive.  At the end of every day, I need to back up
the data.  I can do it now if I boot full Win98.  Since that's pretty slow,
I'd rather just ftp from the Win98 command line.  It's possible that our IT
guy is capable of setting up an ssh/scp server that I could access.

Thanks.
