CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD(3)				     curl_easy_setopt options					 CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD - select directory traversing method for FTP

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       Pass a long telling libcurl which method to use to reach a file on a FTP(S) server.

       This option exists because some server implementations aren't compliant to what the standards say should work.

       The argument should be one of the following alternatives:

       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
	      RFC1738 says it should be done. This is the default but the slowest behavior.

       CURLFTPMETHOD_NOCWD
	      libcurl does no CWD at all. libcurl will do SIZE, RETR, STOR etc and give a full path to the server for all these commands. This	is
	      the fastest behavior.

       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 'nocwd' but without the full penalty of 'multicwd'.

DEFAULT

       CURLFTPMETHOD_MULTICWD

PROTOCOLS

       FTP

EXAMPLE

       TODO

AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.15.1

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
