# NAME
CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET - use PRET for FTP
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, long enable);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. If the value is 1, it tells curl to send a PRET command before
PASV (and EPSV). Certain FTP servers, mainly drftpd, require this non-standard
command for directory listings as well as up and downloads in PASV mode. Has
no effect when using the active FTP transfers mode.
# DEFAULT
0
# PROTOCOLS
FTP
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL,
"ftp://example.com/old-server/file.txt");
/* a drftpd server, do it! */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, 1L);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
