This isn't the syntax I'd expect for an IPv6 LL URL--I'm surprised
you got as far as you did. There are a number of things that are
suspect. First, the address should be entirely enclosed in square
brackets. Second, because of the [], you have to use the -g option to
disable globbing. Third, since the interface is part of the URL, the
percent needs to be URL-escaped. Fourth, interface names aren't always
supported--you may need to use the index number instead.

Try this instead:

   curl -g 'ftp://test:123456@[fe80::92fb:a6ff:fe0a:510b%251]/' -v

replacing the final '1' with the correct index.
