CURLOPT_PREQUOTE(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_PREQUOTE(3)
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.
While CURLOPT_QUOTE(3) and CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE(3) work for SFTP, this op-
tion does not.
DEFAULT
NULL

/* pass in the FTP commands to run */
