What happened then? What did it say?

Can you append a "--trace-ascii dump" and provide the dump file here? Edit out
sensitive data first.

I doubt that.

This command line doesn't request anything from the FTP server (apart from the
login directory's contents). What did you expect this to do?

Something else is listening on your port 8999 so the curl test server can't
run there as it wants to.

Gosh. This means that curl's PORT command looked very wrong. The "very illegal
PORT number" text is written by the test ftp server.

Can you in invoke this test alone and see if you can figure out what the
problem is?

$ cd tests
$ ./runtests.pl -g 101

when gdb starts, set a break-point in ftp_use_port() then run

(you may want to rebuild curl with configure --disable-shared --enable-debug
before you do this)

As you might have seen on the autobuild page on the curl site, we do no
regular automated tests on HPUX...
