Curl itself isn't really meant to do this. You can create a script or
batch file to automate curl for this kind of task.
The overhead from doing multiple connections can be reduced by
combining multiple entries from the directory
into a single invocation of curl, since it will reuse existing
connections in this case.

If you want a single stand-alone program to upload entire folders, you
might want to try wput, which is a
command line utility similar to wget, but for uploading.
