This problem has come up before, and technically, the URL is invalid because
of the server configuration. curl retrieves FTP URLs in the
RFC-proscribed manner, which the server doesn't allow.

Recent versions of curl support the --ftp-method option, which allows curl
to ignore the RFC and bypass this problem.
