This is probably due to a broken FTP server. Try setting CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD
to CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD, and also make sure the user you're using to access
the server has permissions to access the file.

As Daniel explained, don't use RETR in a custom request! It's not going to work
properly.

Append ;type=i to the URL to explicitly set binary mode.
