Two things, I think:
ConnectToFtp is in a package named ftp, yet is in classes/ftpbean directory (package and directory should match).
When you compile, you need to make sure that CLASSPATH includes the .../classes directory. There's several ways to make that happen:
cd ...\WEB-INF\classes
javac -classpath . ftpbean\*.java
Or,
cd WEB-INF\classes\ftpbean
javac -classpath .. *.java
Or,
SET CLASSPATH="...\WEB-INF\classes"
javac *.java
