If the NLST behavior isn't good enough, you can always change the list
command using the -X option. The problem of course occurs if you want to get
a machine-readable directory listing back, as the LIST one is far from that
(it isn't even the same on different server implementations).

If anyone could help me get some of that wu-ftpd FAQ explanation text into
the manuals for the --list-only / CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY options, I would be
very happy.

Oh, and yes, the RFC959 description text for NLST seems to support what the
wu-ftpd guys are saying.
