The directory here is called "In", not "in". If the server is case
sensitive, this will make a difference.

If you're trying to get a directory listing, you need to put a slash
character at the end of the URL, i.e., ftp://ftp.url.com:2130/users/user/in/
The command-line you gave attempts to download a file called "in".

This is dangerous--it bypasses curl's internal working directory state
and will cause errors if you attempt to do further transfers over the
same connection.
