If you use the ftps:// protocol in the URL, you won't need the additional
'ftpssl' option.

Right, that option isn't necessary when you're using ftps://. It will use SSL
for both connections automaticly then.

Do note that the (proposed) standards encourage the use of ftp:// and the
equivalent of --ftpssl.

... which probably means there's no server listening to port 990 (the default
ftps port).

Try using the equivalent of the curl tool's --insecure option instead of the
-cainfo, just to see if this is a problem with the server certificate
verification or something else.

The output you get from -verbose might help too.
