You can't tell libcurl to use a specific TCP port for the PORT command.
libcurl will use a suitable one (provided by the OS) to have the server
connect to. (There's a TODO-task mentioned to perhaps one day add the ability
to libcurl to use a specific port (range) for this.)

BTW, if you take libcurl questions to the curl-library list, you'll meat a lot
more other developers that are using libcurl.
