32 Pass a pointer to a linked list of FTP or SFTP commands to pass to the server
33 prior to your request. This will be done before any other commands are issued
34 (even before the CWD command for FTP). The linked list should be a fully valid
35 list of 'struct curl_slist' structs properly filled in with text strings. Use
36 \fIcurl_slist_append(3)\fP to append strings (commands) to the list, and clear
37 the entire list afterwards with \fIcurl_slist_free_all(3)\fP. Disable this
38 operation again by setting a NULL to this option. When speaking to a FTP
39 server, prefix the command with an asterisk (*) to make libcurl continue even
40 if the command fails as by default libcurl will stop at first failure.
42 The set of valid FTP commands depends on the server (see RFC959 for a list of
45 The valid SFTP commands are:
47 .IP "chgrp group file"
48 The chgrp command sets the group ID of the file named by the file operand to
49 the group ID specified by the group operand. The group operand is a decimal
52 The chmod command modifies the file mode bits of the specified file. The
53 mode operand is an octal integer mode number.
55 The chown command sets the owner of the file named by the file operand to the
56 user ID specified by the user operand. The user operand is a decimal
58 .IP "ln source_file target_file"
59 The ln and symlink commands create a symbolic link at the target_file location
60 pointing to the source_file location.
61 .IP "mkdir directory_name"
62 The mkdir command creates the directory named by the directory_name operand.
64 The pwd command returns the absolute pathname of the current working directory.
65 .IP "rename source target"
66 The rename command renames the file or directory named by the source
67 operand to the destination path named by the target operand.
69 The rm command removes the file specified by the file operand.
71 The rmdir command removes the directory entry specified by the directory
72 operand, provided it is empty.
74 The statvfs command returns statistics on the file system in which specified
75 file resides. (Added in 7.49.0)
76 .IP "symlink source_file target_file"
85 struct curl_slist *h = NULL;
86 h = curl_slist_append(h, "RNFR source-name");
87 h = curl_slist_append(h, "RNTO new-name");
89 curl = curl_easy_init();
91 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/foo.bin");
