Thanks Daniel for your response !
However manual FTP works on this system. How is ftp through CURL different from manual FTP?

Right FTP through CURL is implemented through one of our application.
Is there a way to test CURL FTP from our system to understand why FTP fails.

Regards,
Deepesh

Using -v to get verbose output is often enough to show exactly what happened
and why.

This is _usually_ a sign of the client (curl) going through a
firewall/net/thing that doesn't "follow FTP sessions" and thus refuses the ftp
client to do the second connect when using passive mode.
