CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT(3)      Library Functions Manual     CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT - account info for FTP

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT, char *account);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string (or NULL to disable). When an
       FTP  server asks for "account data" after username and password has been
       provided, this data is sent off using the ACCT command.

       The application does not have to keep the string  around  after  setting
       this option.

       Using  this option multiple times makes the last set string override the
       previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.

DEFAULT
       NULL

PROTOCOLS
       This functionality affects ftp only

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();

           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/foo.bin");

           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT, "human-resources");

           res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

         }
       }
