EXAMPLE

       static size_t read_cb(char *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userdata)
       {
         FILE *src = userdata;
         /* copy as much data as possible into the 'ptr' buffer, but no more than
            'size' * 'nmemb' bytes! */
         size_t retcode = fread(ptr, size, nmemb, src);

         return retcode;
       }

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           FILE *src = fopen("local-file", "r");
           curl_off_t fsize; /* set this to the size of the input file */

           /* we want to use our own read function */
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, read_cb);

           /* enable PUT */
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1L);

           /* specify target */
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/dir/to/newfile");

           /* now specify which pointer to pass to our callback */
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READDATA, src);

           /* Set the size of the file to upload */
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE, (curl_off_t)fsize);

           /* Now run off and do what you have been told! */
           curl_easy_perform(curl);
         }
       }
