If you enable logging, you should see a message "Failed to set
SO_KEEPALIVE on fd X" if setting keepalive failed on a recent
libcurl.

--keepalive-time was added to the curl front-end in 7.18.0, but much
later to libcurl. Your application can always enable TCP keepalive
itself in the CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION or CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION
callback function even in older libcurl versions.

Correct. Adding NOOP support on the ftp control channel has been
suggested in the past, but nobody has stepped up and submitted any
code that implements it.
