Just a quick note here: the -L flag tells the compiler where to look
for a library (if it isn't in one of the standard places) and the -l
flag tells the compiler which libraries to look for.

Note that curl-config has the -L first and the -l second - that's
because the compiler needs to know that the curl library isn't located
in a standard place (/lib, /usr/lib).

In general, you should always have your -L flags before your -l flags in
the command line.

You could just make your command line:

cc `curl-config --cflags` ftpupload.c -o ftpupload `curl-config --libs`
