Your first command line should work without whitespaces:

curl -T "{file1.txt,file2.txt}" ftp://XXX/ -user YYY 

Also note the trailing "/" in the URLs above.

This is curl's manual about option "-T":

-T, --upload-file

This transfers the specified local file to the remote URL. If there is no file part in the specified URL, Curl will append the local file name. NOTE that you must use a trailing / on the last directory to really prove to Curl that there is no file name or curl will think that your last directory name is the remote file name to use. That will most likely cause the upload operation to fail. If this is used on an HTTP(S) server, the PUT command will be used.

Use the file name "-" (a single dash) to use stdin instead of a given file. Alternately, the file name "." (a single period) may be specified instead of "-" to use stdin in non-blocking mode to allow reading server output while stdin is being uploaded.

You can specify one -T for each URL on the command line. Each -T + URL pair specifies what to upload and to where. curl also supports "globbing" of the -T argument, meaning that you can upload multiple files to a single URL by using the same URL globbing style supported in the URL, like this:

curl -T "{file1,file2}" http://www.uploadtothissite.com 

or even

curl -T "img[1-1000].png" ftp://ftp.picturemania.com/upload/ 

"*.txt" expansion does not work because curl supports only the same syntax as for URLs:

You can specify multiple URLs or parts of URLs by writing part sets within braces as in:

http://site.{one,two,three}.com

or you can get sequences of alphanumeric series by using [] as in:

ftp://ftp.numericals.com/file[1-100].txt

ftp://ftp.numericals.com/file[001-100].txt (with leading zeros)

ftp://ftp.letters.com/file[a-z].txt

[...]

When using [] or {} sequences when invoked from a command line prompt, you probably have to put the full URL within double quotes to avoid the shell from interfering with it. This also goes for other characters treated special, like for example '&', '?' and '*'.

But you could use the "normal" shell globbing like this:

curl -T "{$(echo *.txt | tr ' ' ',')}" ftp://XXX/ -user YYY 

(The last example may not work in all shells or with any kind of exotic file names.)
