File downloading
Hi,
I am newbie in Perl/CGI and I need your help to develop a little script to help me to download some files located in a FTP server via HTTP to a disk.
I need to authenticate with username/password via a HTTP page and I can choose the files to download from the web page to my disk.
Can someone help me to get this script?
Thanks a lot in advance.

curlopt_maxfilesize
CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE - maximum file size allowed to download
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE, long size);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long as parameter. This allows you to specify the maximum size (in bytes) of a file to download. If the file requested is found
larger than this value, the transfer will not start and CURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED will be returned.
The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such files this option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being
larger than this given limit. This concerns both FTP and HTTP transfers.
If you want a limit above 2GB, use CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE(3).
DEFAULT
None
PROTOCOLS
FTP and HTTP
EXAMPLE
TODO
AVAILABILITY
Always
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK
