Let me guess--you used this snippet of code from the ftpget.c example
program in your own code and it's not working? You probably missed
also copying the CURLOPT_WRITEDATA option to set the "out" pointer while
setting up the easy handle. This write callback needs a data struct to
hold the file handle that it opens. Without setting it, it will either
get a NULL pointer or stdout, both of which are wrong in this context.

Also, please direct further libcurl questions to the curl-library mailing
list instead of this one.
