It sounds like you're confusing ftps with sftp. Which is it that your
server is running? curl only supports the former (the latter is a protocol
running over ssh). The syntax depends on the ftps variant supported by
the server. Either

  curl --ftp-ssl --user name:passwd ftp://ftp.host.com/

or

  curl --user name:passwd ftps://ftp.host.com/

should do it. You shouldn't need to specify the port number unless you have
an unusual server setup.
