NAME

       CURLOPT_PREQUOTE - commands to run before an FTP transfer

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PREQUOTE,
                                 struct curl_slist *cmds);

DESCRIPTION

       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.

DEFAULT

       NULL

PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects ftp only

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         struct curl_slist *cmdlist = NULL;
         cmdlist = curl_slist_append(cmdlist, "SYST");

         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           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);
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in curl 7.9.5

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
