This URL specifies a *file* named dir, not a directory. You need a
trailing slash to specify a directory.

Why set this? It's not only documented to be useful for HTTP only, but
even if it were usable for FTP, it would prevent anything from
being sent.

You don't say what m_esayH is, but it doesn't seem relevant when calling
curl_easy_perform(pCurl);

If you enable debugging, you'll likely notice that libcurl never enters
the directory "dir", because "dir" is specified in the URL to be a file.
