Aha, a socksproxy!

That should be the option to use, yes.

Yes, since -x sets a HTTP proxy. --socks sets a SOCKS proxy.

No. SOCKS is such a rarely used option there are lots of bugs and not
supported quirks around it. If you truly want curl to do FTPS over SOCKS, then
I supect you need to dig into some source code and make sure the SOCKS magic
is done properly for it.

If not, then I don't think you should hold your breath for this flaw to get
fixed within the nearest future.

Does curl even do normal FTP fine over SOCKS?

(I'll add something about this problem to the KNOWN_BUGS document.)
