Hold on a moment. How do you pass name and password to a firewall? I presume
you mean this is a HTTP proxy (that might also act as a firewall, but that is
beside the point for this case) ?

1. This doesn't identify the proxy (try -x)

2. curl 7.14.0 and earlier don't support ftps:// through proxy (this is fixed
    in the CVS/daily snapshot versions)

BTW, how do you access this site with other tools? Can your proxy really
understand and deal with ftps:// URLs? If not, I believe you'll need to tunnel
through the proxy using -p/--proxytunnel, but that will only be allowed by the
proxy if it has been specificly configured to allow CONNECT to port 990 (which
to my knowledge is very rarely done).

This mail will be stored, archived and displayed publically on the curl web
site. Information you pass to this list (and the other curl lists) will be
used for whatever purposes the readers of these mails like. The mails are read
by hundreds of subscribers and tens of thousands of web visitors every month.
And they will be around "forever" for future visitors to enjoy.

Knowing this, your "legal" blurb is rather funny.

(As usual, I very much suspect that you don't personally decide on the
addition of this text but I can't resist pointing out the stupitidy of it
anyway.)
