CURLOPT_PREQUOTE(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_PREQUOTE(3)

CURLOPT_PREQUOTE - commands to run before an FTP transfer

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PREQUOTE,

struct curl_slist *cmds);

Pass a pointer to a linked list of FTP commands to pass to the server after the transfer type is set. The linked list should be a fully valid list of struct curl_slist structs properly filled in as described for CURLOPT_QUOTE(3). Disable this operation again by setting a NULL to this option.

These commands are not performed when a directory listing is performed, only for file transfers.

While CURLOPT_QUOTE(3) and CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE(3) work for SFTP, this option does not.

CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/foo.bin");
/* pass in the FTP commands to run */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PREQUOTE, cmdlist);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
} }
