curlftpfs problem

[Willy K. Hamra]

hi, i installed curlftpfs, and use it to mount an ftp site on a computer
 in the local network that is using windows. i use ftp for the password,
i found it troublesome to have samba shares using passwords.
i mount it using
"curlftpfs ftp://username:password@IPaddress /media/pc3"
i can send and delete files normally, and didn't notice any problem with
it until i started using big files. every time i try to sennd a large
file it sends a few hundred MiB and stops with an error

willy at server1:~$ curlftpfs ftp://administrator:*********@192.168.0.3
/media/pc3
willy at server1:~$ cp /media/c/KDE4.vdi /media/pc3/vbox/KDE4.vdi
cp: writing `/media/pc3/vbox/KDE4.vdi': Transport endpoint is not connected
cp: closing `/media/pc3/vbox/KDE4.vdi': Transport endpoint is not connected
willy at server1:~$ ls /media/pc3
ls: cannot access /media/pc3: Transport endpoint is not connected

i googled a bit for it, most people associated the problem with old
libcurl library, but these are old forums in the days of feisty and
gutsy, and i already have the latest libcurl library that they claim
fixes this problem.
anyone knows a solution to this?
or can suggest another program to mount ftp? i'm sure there's tons of
other programs, maybe better, so any recommendations?
thanks in advance
