I am recently getting familiar with the libcurl. I suggested the first idea
that came into the mind, let me take a deeper look to see what would better
suit in this case.

I have not run the test cases from the library. Testing with my code, as far
as FTP is concerned, it looks fine. No memory or any other resource leaks.
The easy handle could be re-used over several times.

I would be glad writing the test case but first I need some time to get more
familiar with the project, writing the test case, using sample data, running
tests, etc. :-)

Which protocols should be included in the test? Would FTP, HTTP and SMTP
suffice?

it is twice as difficult to debug a program as to write it. Therefore, if
you put all of your creativity and effort into writing the program, you are
not smart enough to debug it.
