1.1       misho       1: Long: ftp-port
                      2: Arg: <address>
                      3: Help: Use PORT instead of PASV
                      4: Short: P
                      5: Protocols: FTP
                      6: See-also: ftp-pasv disable-eprt
                      7: ---
                      8: Reverses the default initiator/listener roles when connecting with FTP. This
                      9: option makes curl use active mode. curl then tells the server to connect back
                     10: to the client's specified address and port, while passive mode asks the server
                     11: to setup an IP address and port for it to connect to. <address> should be one
                     12: of:
                     13: .RS
                     14: .IP interface
                     15: e.g. "eth0" to specify which interface's IP address you want to use (Unix only)
                     16: .IP "IP address"
                     17: e.g. "192.168.10.1" to specify the exact IP address
                     18: .IP "host name"
                     19: e.g. "my.host.domain" to specify the machine
                     20: .IP "-"
                     21: make curl pick the same IP address that is already used for the control
                     22: connection
                     23: .RE
                     24: 
                     25: If this option is used several times, the last one will be used. Disable the
                     26: use of PORT with --ftp-pasv. Disable the attempt to use the EPRT command
                     27: instead of PORT by using --disable-eprt. EPRT is really PORT++.
                     28: 
                     29: Since 7.19.5, you can append \&":[start]-[end]\&" to the right of the address,
                     30: to tell curl what TCP port range to use. That means you specify a port range,
                     31: from a lower to a higher number. A single number works as well, but do note
                     32: that it increases the risk of failure since the port may not be available.
