curl --trace-ascii /home/usha/trace_out ftp://172.16.1.176 -u usha

# cat /home/usha/trace_out
== Info: About to connect() to 172.16.1.176 port 21

And I could succed with :
/opt/iexpress/curl/bin/curl --disable-epsv ftp://172.16.1.176 -u usha

Yes, Just as initial step I tested whether i could just login via ftp , still i have long way to go like to ftp a kerborised server. Just for now can u suggest me whether this version (7.11.1)supports kerbors ver-5x.

But after checking with netsat | grep 8999, and confirming that itz not used. I started the test suite.
