My apologies for the long delay in replying.

I stepped through libCurl with a debugger and found my problem
is related to configuration, probably done incorrectly on my
part.

I had the following libCurl options configured so that no FTP
transfer occured:
        CURLOPT_NOBODY=true
        CURLOPT_HEADER=false

but I also had the following hidden in some residual code I had
not cleaned up yet:
        CURLOPT_UPLOAD=true

This meant that in ftp_perform(), FTPSENDF would still be called
with the "STOR" command and since ftp->file was NULL, the
FTPSENDF would get a bit confused and try to send a file called
"(nil)".

With CURLOPT_UPLOAD=false, everything seems to be fine now.

Thanks for your help.
