Thank you Kevin.

Your solution of --stderr - to direct stderr to stdout, then > test.log
to direct all screen output to a log file works. And in the logfile I
get both the curl command and the error of that command. Just
what I wanted!!

In summary, here is my command line:

curl
ftp://user:passwd@192.168.11.1/host/sub/directory/{20020531,2002
0601}.dbf -o remote/sub/directory/#1.dbf --std - > 20020601.log

I see the --stderr - option is actually in the manual. I read it, but
didn't understand what it meant.
