I think you must say "./curl ftp://[fe80::230:6eff:fe48:94f1] -u root" .
That's the syntax of IPv6 literal addresses in RFC-2732.
Without the brackets, the first colon will confuse the url-parser.
E.g. with a user-name:
  ftp://user[1080::900:10.0.0.1] (the password is optional)
and with both user/passwd:
  ftp://user:passwd@[1080::900:10.0.0.1]
