57 <p class="level0">When uploading a file to a remote site, <span Class="emphasis">filesize</span> should be used to tell libcurl what the expected size of the input file is. This value must be passed as a long. See also <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE.html">CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE</a> for sending files larger than 2GB.
58 <p class="level0">For uploading using SCP, this option or <a Class="emphasis" href="./CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE.html">CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE</a> is mandatory.
