Quote commands are needed very infrequently and only for exceptional
conditions. What's the URL of the file you want to retrieve? Just pass
that to curl. The suggestion I gave:

will do a directory listing. To retrieve a file called file.txt, just
pass in the URL to that file, i.e.

  curl --user XXX:XXX --cacert cacert.pem --tlsv1 --disable-epsv \
    --ftp-ssl-reqd --show-error --verbose \
    ftp://ftpssl.rbc.com/outbound/BTBT/file.txt
