You probably want the --list-only option (with the previously mentioned
trailing slash) to just list files until you find what you want:

curl -v --list-only ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/

With some ftp servers, if you actually try to retrieve the directory itself,
you'll get a tarball of the entire directory, which could be gigabytes or even
terrabytes. Probably not what you'd want.
