I've never tried compiling OpenSSL from source, but there has to be a way
to make it install the final libraries and headers into a location of your
choosing without editing config files or needing root access. Make
configure it with --prefix=/tmp/openssl or install it with make install
DESTDIR=/tmp/openssl or something along those lines. curl's configure
should pick up such an installation if you configure it with --with-ssl=

The URL above implies that the ftp server is using implicit SSL. If so, then
don't use --ftp-ssl; instead, use a URL starting with "ftps:".
