0100,0100,0100Thank you people for your pointers. Removing the -P 8021 has fixed it. But why did the bright sparks in our IT dept tell me to add that in the first place? And more importantly, why did I listen to them?

For reasons best known to themselves, they've configured this site such that it will only accept "passive" ftp. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but suffice it to say curl doesn't do it by default, and I can't find out how to switch curl so that it does. Can anyone help me, please?
