Reverses the initiator/listener roles when connecting with ftp. This
switch makes Curl use the PORT command instead of PASV. In
practice, PORT tells the server to connect to the client's specified
address and port, while PASV asks the server for an ip address and
port to connect to. <address> should be one of:
interface - i.e "eth0" to specify which interface's IP address you want to use (Unix only)
IP address - i.e "192.168.10.1" to specify exact IP number
host name - i.e "my.host.domain" to specify machine
"-" - (any single-letter string) to make it pick the machine's default

Retrieve a byte range (i.e a partial document) from a HTTP/1.1 or FTP
