CURL can handle both FTP and HTTP connections, but in my experience it's far
more commonly used with HTTP. It may just be that your hosting provider is
unaware of CURL's capabilities, thinking it a http-only tool.

I wouldn't expect you to have any problems using curl to upload your site to
a ftp server.
