# NAME
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV - use EPSV for FTP
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV, long epsv);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Pass *epsv* as a long. If the value is 1, it tells curl to use the EPSV
|
|
command when doing passive FTP downloads (which it does by default). Using
|
|
EPSV means that libcurl first attempts to use the EPSV command before using
|
|
PASV. If you pass zero to this option, it does not use EPSV, only plain PASV.
|
|
|
|
The EPSV command is a slightly newer addition to the FTP protocol than PASV
|
|
and is the preferred command to use since it enables IPv6 to be used. Old FTP
|
|
servers might not support it, which is why libcurl has a fallback mechanism.
|
|
Sometimes that fallback is not enough and then this option might come handy.
|
|
|
|
If the server is an IPv6 host, this option has no effect.
