Does that explain why I wasn't able to upload to a correspondent's ftp area with a command line like this?

curl ftp://name:password@ftp.user.domain:1234 -T myfile

I really thought at the time that the problem was on the other end and, after opening up ports that curl seemed to want that way for PASV, I handled the transfer via my own ftp site. Now I wonder. . .
