CURLOPT_QUOTE - (S)FTP commands to run before transfer
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_QUOTE, struct
curl_slist *cmds);
Pass a pointer to a linked list of FTP or SFTP commands to pass to
the server prior to your request. This will be done before any other
commands are issued (even before the CWD command for FTP). The linked list
should be a fully valid list of 'struct curl_slist' structs properly filled
in with text strings. Use curl_slist_append(3) to append strings
(commands) to the list, and clear the entire list afterwards with
curl_slist_free_all(3). Disable this operation again by setting a
NULL to this option. When speaking to an FTP server, prefix the command with
an asterisk (*) to make libcurl continue even if the command fails as by
default libcurl will stop at first failure.
The set of valid FTP commands depends on the server (see RFC959
for a list of mandatory commands).
The valid SFTP commands are:
- atime date file
- The atime command sets the last access time of the file named by the file
operand. The <date expression> can be all sorts of date strings, see
the curl_getdate(3) man page for date expression details. (Added in
7.73.0)
- chgrp group file
- The chgrp command sets the group ID of the file named by the file operand
to the group ID specified by the group operand. The group operand is a
decimal integer group ID.
- chmod mode file
- The chmod command modifies the file mode bits of the specified file. The
mode operand is an octal integer mode number.
- chown user file
- The chown command sets the owner of the file named by the file operand to
the user ID specified by the user operand. The user operand is a decimal
integer user ID.
- ln source_file
target_file
- The ln and symlink commands create a symbolic link at the target_file
location pointing to the source_file location.
- mkdir
directory_name
- The mkdir command creates the directory named by the directory_name
operand.
- mtime date file
- The mtime command sets the last modification time of the file named by the
file operand. The <date expression> can be all sorts of date
strings, see the curl_getdate(3) man page for date expression
details. (Added in 7.73.0)
- pwd
- The pwd command returns the absolute pathname of the current working
directory.
- rename source
target
- The rename command renames the file or directory named by the source
operand to the destination path named by the target operand.
- rm file
- The rm command removes the file specified by the file operand.
- rmdir directory
- The rmdir command removes the directory entry specified by the directory
operand, provided it is empty.
- statvfs file
- The statvfs command returns statistics on the file system in which
specified file resides. (Added in 7.49.0)
- symlink source_file
target_file
- See ln.
