NAME

6       CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT - use EPRT for FTP
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode  curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT, long en‐
12       abled);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Pass a long. If the value is 1, it tells curl to use the  EPRT  command
16       when  doing  active  FTP  downloads  (which  is enabled by CURLOPT_FTP‐
17       PORT(3)). Using EPRT means that it will first attempt to use  EPRT  be‐
18       fore  using  PORT, but if you pass zero to this option, it will not try
19       using EPRT, only plain PORT.
20
21       If the server is an IPv6 host, this option will have no effect as  EPRT
22       is necessary then.
