Exactly what is the difference between TLS and SSL here according to you?

SSLv3 is the protocol that later was turned into TLSv1 when standardized, and
the SSL libs we use detect and use the "proper" version automatically.

... and this server speaks TLS only? And what happens, doesn't this work?

Try the -1/--tlsv1 option to force TLSv1 in the SSL/TLS layer negotiation.

By default, curl will send the "AUTH SSL" command first and then "AUTH TLS" on
the control connection when trying to activate FTP-SSL, but the command line
client has no option to switch this order (although the library knows how).
And the exact command name doesn't matter anwyay, since both commands could
very well negotiate SSL or TLS, depending on the previously mentioned option
and what the server wants.
