Initial Comment:
Ooops, this is perhaps a duplicate of bug #986576

If I run an ftp session (with -Q commands) without specifying a target file I get
a LIST of a possibly long directory. According to the man page, using -X should
replace LIST with a custom command. It does not work, as the following captured
terminal shows:

D:\tmp>curl -v -u xxx -X NOOP ftp://abcd.tana.it/tmp/ -Q "-RNFR foo.tmp" -Q "-RNTO foo.dat"
Enter host password for user 'xxx':* About to connect() to abcd.tana.it port 21
 (#0)
* Trying 194.243.254.xyz... connected
* Connected to abcd.tana.it (194.243.254.xyz) port 21 (#0)
< 220 My ftp server ready
> USER xxx
< 331 Password required for xxx.
> PASS ********
< 230 User xxx logged in.
> PWD
< 257 "/home/xxx" is current directory.
* Entry path is '/home/xxx'
> CWD tmp
< 250 CWD command successful.
> EPSV
* Connect data stream passively
< 500 'EPSV': command not understood.
* disabling EPSV usage
> PASV
< 227 Entering Passive Mode (194,243,254,xyz,14,98)

> TYPE A
< 200 Type set to A.
> NOOP
< 200 NOOP command successful.
* RETR response: 200
* Remembering we are in dir tmp/
* Connection #0 to host north.tana.it left intact
curl: (19) RETR response: 200
> QUIT
< 221-You have transferred 0 bytes in 0 files.
< 221-Total traffic for this session was 396 bytes in 0 transfers.
< 221-Thank you for using the FTP service on abcd.tana.it.
< 221 Goodbye.
* Closing connection #0

Notice that RETR is causing an exit status of 19 although it is
actually never issued to the ftp server: the trace shown above is
correct and NOOP was the last command (before QUIT).
