CURLOPT_PREQUOTE(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_PREQUOTE(3)

NAME

CURLOPT_PREQUOTE - commands to run before an FTP transfer

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PREQUOTE, struct curl_slist *cmds);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a linked list of FTP commands to pass to the server after the transfer type is set. The linked list should be a fully valid list of struct curl_slist structs properly filled in as described for CURLOPT_QUOTE(3). Disable this operation again by setting a NULL to this option.

While CURLOPT_QUOTE(3) and CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE(3) work for SFTP, this option does not.

DEFAULT

NULL

  /* pass in the FTP commands to run */

  ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
