Version: 7.15.5-1
Severity: normal

If I have a .curlrc config file containing

  disable-epsv

then the --disable-epsv option has the opposite effect.
The curl man page says:

    --disable-epsv
           (FTP) Tell curl to disable the use of the EPSV command
           when doing passive FTP transfers. Curl  will  normally
           always first attempt to use EPSV before PASV, but with
           this option, it will not try using EPSV.

           If this option is used several times, each  occurrence
           will toggle this on/off.

but of course, the toggle shouldn't concern the config file (as the
user should be able to disable EPSV without knowing the contents of
the config file).

BTW, it would be much better and much more intuitive to have two
different options --disable-epsv and --enable-epsv.
