26 CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET \- enable the PRET command
28 #include <curl/curl.h>
30 CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, long enable);
32 Pass a long. If the value is 1, it tells curl to send a PRET command before
33 PASV (and EPSV). Certain FTP servers, mainly drftpd, require this non-standard
34 command for directory listings as well as up and downloads in PASV mode. Has
35 no effect when using the active FTP transfers mode.
