Check the manual (curl.exe --manual). Look for the -P/--ftpport section.

It says that you can use either:

 o IP address (you'd use "10.1.1.4"), or
 o hostname (you'd use "localhost" !! NOTE : NOT "local"), or
 o "-" (to tell curl to use the default value)

I'd say in your case (since it needs to run on multiple machines),
that you should try using "-P -".

I do have one more question though. I am getting an error message when using
the -P option. I am on Win32 ...

curl -Q "USER 8007667530_at_edi.mema.geis.com 15171" -Q "PASS PASSWORD" -T
 "D:\FILES\TECH\CURL\20030802_164602_3M1_.XML" -u mema137:mema137KH -v
 --max-time 90 --connect-timeout 90 --disable-epsv
 "ftp://ftp.translink.geis.com/%%MISGTEST%%*BINARY%%%%b" -P local

* gethostbyname(2) failed for local
* Telling server to connect to 10.1.1.4:4887
> PORT 10,1,1,4,19,23
