For implicit FTP-SSL, you need to use a ftps:// prefix to the URL, so that
libcurl knows it must do the SSL negotiation on the control connection
immediately and unconditionally. Plain ftp:// URLs assume plain TCP connect
first, and then later "upgraded" to SSL/TLS if chosen by the app.

Note that implicit SSL like this is deprecated in the
draft-murray-auth-ftp-ssl document.
