Well curl is a program not a Python method. So you have to tell Python
to execute curl with os.system() or similar or you can use the curl
library pycurl or use ftplib. An example for Python2 on Windows, edit to
fit.

import ftplib
from ftplib import FTP

File2Send = "V://GIS//Maps//County//11x17shd//2010BEAVER11x17shd.pdf"
Output_Directory = "//data2//ftp//pub//download//maps//"

try:
     ftp = FTP("XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX")
     ftp.login(username, password)
     file = open(File2Send, "rb")
     ftp.cwd(Output_Directory)
     ftp.storbinary('STOR ' + File2Send, file)
     print "STORing File now..."
     ftp.quit()
     file.close()
     print "File transfered"
else:
     print "An error occured"
