CURLOPT_QUOTE(3)    curl_easy_setopt options     CURLOPT_QUOTE(3)


NAME

     CURLOPT_QUOTE - (S)FTP commands to run before transfer


SYNOPSIS

     #include <curl/curl.h>

     CURLcode   curl_easy_setopt(CURL   *handle,   CURLOPT_QUOTE,
     struct curl_slist *cmds);


DESCRIPTION

     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  a  FTP
     server, prefix the command with an asterisk (*) to make lib-
     curl continue even if the command fails as by  default  lib-
     curl 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:

          chgrp group file
               The chgrp command sets the group ID  of  the  file
               named  by  the file operand to the group ID speci-
               fied 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.

          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)

               See ln.
