Because:

1) this system is a rock-solid Oracle
production box that I cannot upgrade without a major
effort

2) I'm trying to get ftp-SSL to work on a different box
  (why ftp-SSL?  that would take another 10 steps!)

3) a user can run filezilla from their PC and do the transfer successfully

4) the box I'm really wanting to do the ftp-SSL from has curl

5) curl returns an error

6) curl from this linux box returns the same error

7) network expert says to get filezilla on the linux box
to find out of that works.

8) filezilla requres prerequisites which are killing me.

9) some days I wish I was a plumber or a welder.

*why*. Updating to SL 5.7, if not SL: 6.1, will save you all sorts of pain.
