CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD \- select directory traversing method for FTP

.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.nf
|
||
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
||
|
|
|

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD,
|
||
|
|
long method);

|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
Pass a long telling libcurl which \fImethod\fP to use to reach a file on a
|
||
|
|
FTP(S) server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This option exists because some server implementations are not compliant to
|
||
|
|
what the standards say should work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The argument should be one of the following alternatives:
|
||
|
|
.IP CURLFTPMETHOD_MULTICWD
|
||
|
|
libcurl does a single CWD operation for each path part in the given URL. For
|
||
|
|
deep hierarchies this means many commands. This is how RFC 1738 says it should
|
||
|
|
be done. This is the default but the slowest behavior.
|
||
|
|
.IP CURLFTPMETHOD_NOCWD
|
||
|
|
libcurl makes no CWD at all. libcurl does SIZE, RETR, STOR etc and gives a
|
||
|
|
full path to the server for all these commands. This is the fastest behavior
|
||
|
|
since it skips having to change directories.
|
||
|
|
.IP CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD
|
||
|
|
libcurl does one CWD with the full target directory and then operates on the
|
||
|
|
file &"normally" (like in the multicwd case). This is somewhat more standards
|
||
|
|
compliant than \(aqnocwd\(aq but without the full penalty of \(aqmulticwd\(aq.
|
||
|
|
.SH DEFAULT
|
||
|
|
CURLFTPMETHOD_MULTICWD
|
||
|
|
.SH PROTOCOLS

||
|
|
This functionality affects ftp only
