-P enables active mode though, so your servers passive ports are of no
relevance here. Perhaps this also suggests that there still is something in
between your hosts that breaks this...

-P makes the server connect back to the client on the port number the client
tells it.

And yes, you can specify port number range with -P as documented:
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html#-P--ftp-port

"-P -:3000-32000", but again these are not ports on the server, they are on
the client side.

The client grabbed a random unused port number...

... but the server couldn't connect to it!
