CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD(3)  curl_easy_setopt options  CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD - select directory traversing method for FTP

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD,
				 long method);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass  a	long  telling libcurl which method to use to reach a file on a
       FTP(S) server.

       This option exists because some server implementations aren't compliant
       to what the standards say should work.

       The argument should be one of the following alternatives:

       CURLFTPMETHOD_MULTICWD
	      libcurl  does  a	single CWD operation for each path part in the
	      given URL. For deep hierarchies this means many  commands.  This
	      is  how  RFC1738 says it should be done. This is the default but
	      the slowest behavior.

       CURLFTPMETHOD_NOCWD
	      libcurl does no CWD at all. libcurl will do SIZE, RETR, STOR etc
	      and  give a full path to the server for all these commands. This
	      is the fastest behavior.

       CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD
	      libcurl does one CWD with the full  target  directory  and  then
	      operates	on  the	 file  "normally" (like in the multicwd case).
	      This is somewhat more standards compliant than 'nocwd' but with‐
	      out the full penalty of 'multicwd'.

DEFAULT
       CURLFTPMETHOD_MULTICWD
