Trouble with an active ftp server

I'm trying to use curl 7.15.1 to put a file on an active ftps site. I
can't seem to get the ports worked out. They will only allow connections
over port 21. Here's the output of a typical run:

* About to connect() to ftpserver (ip address) port 21
* Trying IP address... connected
* Connected to ftpserver (ip address) port 21
< 220 xpeweb1 FTP server () ready.

The people on the other end of this are saying that they won't send
data outside the normal ftp ports (20,21). Is there some way to force
this connection to negotiate 20 or 21 as the data connection channel? Am
I missing something here? Here's the config file I'm using for the
connection:

    --verbose
    --disable-eprt
    --insecure
    --connect-timeout 60
    --ftp-ssl
    --ftp-port myIP_address #For navigating two firewalls
    --user userID:password
    --upload-file file
    --url ftpserver

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nick
