curl's purpose is to transfer files; renaming them is really incidental to
it main purpose. It provides the root directory listing corresponding to
the URL given in order to satisfy the primary purpose of the command
invocation. That's a long way of saying, not really, in the general case.
But if you provide the --head option, which skips the data transfer
portion of the request, it turns requests on FTP directory URLs such as
the one you are providing into practically a no-op.
