Is this something cURL requires? Since when do you need a double slash
there? It is absolutely not necessary for every FTP client I've ever
seen, be that Win IE, Firefox, FlashFXP, Fetch, Transmit ...

For example, this works:

ftp://publicuser:publicpw@my.FTP.server:2161//Music//MP3//Game//

Note that I doubled every path slash. (This is also valid:
//Music/////MP3/////Game/////, but more than two slashes for root, for
Firefox + Bulletproof, is not)

Adjacent slashes are generally reduced to one.
