FTP Library
What is the "best" library to deal with FTP in C programming language? I've considered libcurl and ftplib (
ftplib), but libcurl is designed for HTTP-like protocols (but supports FTP) and ftplib is poor in functionality (no multi-interface, don't know whether is it thread-safe or not, no custom commands).
Any suggestions?
Has anybody experience with FTP under C?

curlopt_resume_from_large
CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE - set a point to resume transfer from
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE,
curl_off_t from);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a curl_off_t as parameter. It contains the offset in number of bytes that you want the transfer to start from. Set this option to 0 to
make the transfer start from the beginning (effectively disabling resume). For FTP, set this option to -1 to make the transfer start from
the end of the target file (useful to continue an interrupted upload).
When doing uploads with FTP, the resume position is where in the local/source file libcurl should try to resume the upload from and it will
then append the source file to the remote target file.
DEFAULT
0, not used
PROTOCOLS
HTTP, FTP, SFTP, FILE
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_off_t resume_position = GET_IT_SOMEHOW;
curl_off_t file_size = GET_IT_SOMEHOW_AS_WELL;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com");
/* resuming upload at this position, possibly beyond 2GB */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE, resume_position);
/* ask for upload */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1L);
/* set total data amount to expect */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE, file_size);
/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.11.0
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
