You did post this question on the 'curl and php list', which seems a bit odd
if it has nothing to do with PHP. I would recommend subscribing to and using
curl-library instead, it is where other libcurl-hackers hang out.

You use the same easy handle for every curl_easy_perform() call. libcurl will
then attempt to re-use connections as often as possible. If you upload
multiple files to the same host and port number, libcurl will re-use the
single connection every time.

Do note however that FTP will always require and setup a second connection for
the data to transfer, and that connection cannot be re-used but will be setup
and taken down once for each file transfer. This is by design and restricted
by how the protocol works, nothing libcurl can do anything about.
