CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE(3)        Library Functions Manual       CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE - (S)FTP commands to run after the transfer

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

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

DESCRIPTION
       Pass  a  pointer to a linked list of FTP or SFTP commands to pass to the
       server after your FTP transfer request. The commands are only issued  if
       no  error  occur. The linked list should be a fully valid list of struct
       curl_slist structs properly filled in as described for CURLOPT_QUOTE(3).

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

       libcurl  does  not copy the list, it needs to be kept around until after
       the transfer has completed.

DEFAULT
       NULL

PROTOCOLS
       This functionality affects ftp and sftp

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
         struct curl_slist *cmdlist = NULL;
         cmdlist = curl_slist_append(cmdlist, "RNFR source-name");
         cmdlist = curl_slist_append(cmdlist, "RNTO new-name");

         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 after the transfer */
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE, cmdlist);

           res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
         curl_slist_free_all(cmdlist);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Added in curl 7.1
