At my last employer we had a Solaris based FTP server (but had it been Linux, the story would not change much) that we used to distribute files to our customers. Most of our customers used Windows based products. Many of the files we distributed were created by our employees also on Windows based products. On several occaisions a file with a virus was deposited on our FTP server. We then distributed the infected file to our customers. We had no way to scan our FTP repository for viruses and thus we were under pressure to "upgrade" to Windows so that we could scan for viruses. I left the company before that happened but it looked like that was the direction they were headed. Our customers would call us to inform us that our FTP server was infected. Who could argue with them? This is why I was disappointed that I could not find a Unix based virus scanner.

I currently run RedHat in a shop with lots of Windows stuff. I would like a virus scanner too. For example, I might have a harmless seeming pdf file on my RedHat workstation that would cause a nightmare if I copied it to my Windows workstation. This is NOT totally hypothetical, most Windows malware that has hit us recently came in via pdf files.

CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options					    CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY - ask for names only in a directory listing SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY, long listonly); DESCRIPTION
For FTP and SFTP based URLs a parameter set to 1 tells the library to list the names of files in a directory, rather than performing a full directory listing that would normally include file sizes, dates etc. For POP3 a parameter of 1 tells the library to list the email message or messages on the POP3 server. This can be used to change the default behaviour of libcurl, when combined with a URL that contains a message ID, to perform a "scan listing" which can then be used to determine the size of an email. Note: For FTP this causes a NLST command to be sent to the FTP server. Beware that some FTP servers list only files in their response to NLST; they might not include subdirectories and symbolic links. Setting this option to 1 also implies a directory listing even if the URL doesn't end with a slash, which otherwise is necessary. Do NOT use this option if you also use CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH(3) as it will effectively break that feature then. DEFAULT
0, disabled PROTOCOLS
FTP, SFTP and POP3 EXAMPLE
TODO AVAILABILITY
This option was known as CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY up to 7.16.4. POP3 is supported since 7.21.5. RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. SEE ALSO
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST(3), libcurl 7.54.0 February 03, 2016 CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY(3)
