Thanks for you answer Daniel.

I use the standard FTP server provide by my Linux machine. (I will search the software name...)

But when I try to download (or upload) a file with a graphic client (interactive mode) on this Linux server, these operations works. (?)

Your answer reassures me (If I'm the only to have this problem...) thus I will check on my server side.

Delphine.

But what server software is it? It sure seems like a broken one.

For the connection to get closed by the server. That's how end of transfer is
signalled.

It seems to me like the server is misbehaving.

Based on what people estimate number of curl users to on the current poll on
the curl web site and the fact that you are the first to report this problem,
it backs up my suspicions that your server is the guilty part here. Not
libcurl.
