So your suggestion is to add CURLTOPT_FTP_TARGET_URL additional to the 4
option for setopt(). I am not complete with FTP and FTPS or ";type=X"
because the data connection is between the remote host and the options
should be consistent, i.e. if for the first URL ";type=X" and for the
second - ";type=Y", we have inconsistency. Therefore it is better that
such kind of options will be defined only, let's say, for the source URL
and CURLTOPT_FTP_TARGET_URL will not exist. And also FTP or FTPS will
defined once according to the source URL, which means that the data
connection between remote hosts will be the same.
