You are close. First, you have to open the file for reading
instad of writing:

  ftpfile = fopen("myfile", "rb"); /* b is binary for win */

Then you have to include the file name in the URL:

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://[host]/[dir]/[filename]");

Unless you are uploading anonymously, you have to set the
user/password:
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "[username]:[password]");

Then the rest of the stuff:

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILE, ftpfile);

Shazam!

One caveat, though. If you have built libcurl as a DLL, you have to
do it in a slightly different way, but since I know you built a static
library, this will work for you.
