Disabling EPSV only changes the passive behavior. If you want to switch to
active mode you need to use \fI-P, --ftp-port\fP.
.IP "--dns-interface <interface>"
Tell curl to send outgoing DNS requests through <interface>. This option
is a counterpart to \fI--interface\fP (which does not affect DNS). The
supplied string must be an interface name (not an address).

This option requires that libcurl was built with a resolver backend that
supports this operation. The c-ares backend is the only such one. (Added in
7.33.0)
.IP "--dns-ipv4-addr <ip-address>"
Tell curl to bind to <ip-address> when making IPv4 DNS requests, so that

This option requires that libcurl was built with a resolver backend that

The list of IP addresses should be separated with commas. Port numbers
may also optionally be given as \fI:<port-number>\fP after each IP
address.

This option requires that libcurl was built with a resolver backend that
supports this operation. The c-ares backend is the only such one.  (Added in
