You'll have to provide username, password, and an ftp site address. If a subdirectory is included you should terminate the FTPpath item with a "/" (solidus, forward slash, not a backslash.)
The use of inline passwords this way would make Steve drop his load but it's probably as good as simple FTP itself. Some improvement can be had by creating a file called .netrc (note the leading dot) in your home directory. In it put domain names, usernames, and passwords for various sites on separate lines. (Google for .netrc for details.) If that file is present, and set to read by user only, curl will use them without any user:password@ if you add a -n option to the command.
