CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC(3)

NAME

CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC - switch off SSL again with FTP after auth

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC, long how);

DESCRIPTION

If enabled, this option makes libcurl use CCC (Clear Command Channel). It shuts down the SSL/TLS layer after authenticating. The rest of the control channel communication will be unencrypted. This allows NAT routers to follow the FTP transaction. Pass a long using one of the values below
CURLFTPSSL_CCC_NONE
Don't attempt to use CCC.
CURLFTPSSL_CCC_PASSIVE
Do not initiate the shutdown, but wait for the server to do it. Do not send a reply.
CURLFTPSSL_CCC_ACTIVE
Initiate the shutdown and wait for a reply.

DEFAULT

CURLFTPSSL_CCC_NONE

PROTOCOLS

EXAMPLE

  /* go back to clear-text FTP after authenticating */
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC, CURLFTPSSL_CCC_ACTIVE);
  ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
