EPRT is really PORT++. + +Since 7.19.5, you can append \&":[start]-[end]\&" to the right of the address, +to tell curl what TCP port range to use. That means you specify a port range, +from a lower to a higher number. A single number works as well, but do note +that it increases the risk of failure since the port may not be available. |
