You're right. However, the mistake doesn't make any difference as the code
further down checks for FTP _or_ FTPS and then acts... But I'll correct that
anyway.

You'll never need both --ftp-ssl and ftps:// (as the latter will imply the
first option).

 - Use ftps:// to use SSL already when connecting to the host.

 - Use --ftp-ssl to connect using normal FTP mechanims and then "upgrade" to
   SSL (as much as possible). This is the preferred method by servers and
   documents.

It looks like this site has a plaintext connect which would indicate that the
--ftp-ssl approach should be used.
