Hey there!

I am trying to use curl to download an ftp file, here is the output from my
attempt with the -v flag;

bash -x test_curl.sh

+ curl -v
ftp://user:pass@ftpsecure.ingrammicro.com/FUSION/SE/CLICK8/151178.zip

* About to connect() to ftpsecure.ingrammicro.com port 21

* Remembering we are in dir FUSION/SE/CLICK8/151178.zip

* Connection #0 to host ftpsecure.ingrammicro.com left intact

curl: (9) FTP: access denied

* Closing connection #0

As you can see from the above curl moves into the directory FUSION first,
then tries to move into SE, fails, then leaves. This is different from the
behaviour of wget which moves directly into the target directory thusly;

/usr/local/bin/wget
ftp://xxxxx:xxxxxx@ftpsecure.ingrammicro.com/FUSION/SE/CLICK8/151178.zip

--16:54:42--
ftp://xxxxx:*password*@ftpsecure.ingrammicro.com/FUSION/SE/CLICK8/151178.zip

           => `151178.zip'

Resolving ftpsecure.ingrammicro.com... done.

Is there some way I can get my preferred tool (curl) to work in the same
fashion as wget so that it downloads the file from the remote ftp site?

Thanks,

Jeremiah
