NAME

       CURLOPT_ACCEPTTIMEOUT_MS - timeout waiting for FTP server to connect back

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_ACCEPTTIMEOUT_MS, long ms);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  long  telling libcurl the maximum number of milliseconds to wait for a server to connect back to
       libcurl when an active FTP connection is used. When active FTP is used, the client  (libcurl)  tells  the
       server to do a TCP connect back to the client, instead of vice versa for passive FTP.

       This option has no purpose for passive FTP.

DEFAULT

       60000 milliseconds

PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects ftp only

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/path/file");

           /* wait no more than 5 seconds for the FTP server to connect */
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ACCEPTTIMEOUT_MS, 5000L);

           curl_easy_perform(curl);
         }
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in curl 7.24.0
