My impression was that CURLE_FTP_PORT_FAILED is currently set whenever
client has internal problems to create a socket, bind it to a port, etc. I
thought it could be better if server errors are signified with a different
error because in the case described, PORT command actually succeeds but the
transfer command following it fails.
