You'll have to use double quotes as the outer quotes to embed single quotes
correctly.

curl will do a directory listing instead of a file download if the URL ends
in a slash, so make sure your URL does. Then, you can give an -X command
if you want to use wild cards, but note that the RFC959 command for directory
listings is LIST (or NLST), not ls.
