This option exists because some server implementations are not compli- ant to what the standards say should work. The argument should be one of the following alternatives: CURLFTPMETHOD_MULTICWD libcurl does a single CWD operation for each path part in the given URL. For deep hierarchies this means many commands. This is how RFC1738 says it should be done. This is the default but the slowest behavior. CURLFTPMETHOD_NOCWD libcurl does no CWD at all. libcurl will do SIZE, RETR, STOR etc and give a full path to the server for all these commands. This is the fastest behavior. CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD libcurl does one CWD with the full target directory and then operates on the file "normally" (like in the multicwd case). This is somewhat more standards compliant than 'nocwd' but with- out the full penalty of 'multicwd'. DEFAULT CURLFTPMETHOD_MULTICWD PROTOCOLS FTP EXAMPLE CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/1/2/3/4/new.txt"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD, CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD); ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } AVAILABILITY Added in 7.15.1 RETURN VALUE Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
