The paper I got from the SunTrust bank said this...

--snip--
DNS: onlinefiletransfer.suntrust.com
REMOTE ID: ***
PSW: ***
PROTOCOL: FTPS(SSL/AUTH)
          PASSIVE MODE
          EXPLICIT
CONNECTION PORT : 20021
DATA CONTROL PORT RANGE: 20050-20750

cd /ARAUTOAC then put filename (for transferring over)

Okay, so it meant I can't use the --local-port option
since the cURL and the FTPS server work it out for
themselves.

See the snipplet I had enclosed above from SunTrust.

Where the "CWD ARAUTOAU" was executed, where the
"PASV" was executed and somewhere along the line of
this after the "-T 'file_testcase.txt'"... was
executed.

--snip--
 Trying 194.54.96.133... Bind to local port 20050
failed, trying next
 Local port: 20051
--snip--
 Don't remember the IP-Address that was returned.

Here's what I remember when I tried it without the
"--local-port" option is where the "CWD
ARAUTOAU"/"PASV" was executed and then it paused. It
had never recovered from the pause.

Something I should know about? Also, is this command
line correct (if we leave out the "--local-port"
command's option).

--snip--
curl -v -T "file_testcase.txt" --disable-epsv
--disable-eprt --ftp-pasv --ftp-ssl --local-port
"20050-20750" -u "***:***"
"ftp://onlinefiletransfer.suntrust.com:20021" --quote
"CWD /ARAUTOAU"
--snip--

Thanks...
