The "offical way" is that to be able to do that you must know what connection
(connectdata struct) it is and then you simply access the member in that
struct named 'ftp'.

If you only have the 'data' (SessionHandle) pointer, you just can't access the
FTP struct.

I guess it forces you to add a 'conn' pointer to the Curl_client_write()
prototype...

Not only imperfect but a completely flawed approach. Do not assume that you
only and always will use the first connection, as that is not true.
