NAME

6       CURLOPT_PREQUOTE - commands to run before an FTP transfer
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PREQUOTE,
12                                 struct curl_slist *cmds);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Pass  a  pointer to a linked list of FTP commands to pass to the server
16       after the transfer type is set. The linked list should be a fully valid
17       list  of  struct curl_slist structs properly filled in as described for
18       CURLOPT_QUOTE(3). Disable this operation again by  setting  a  NULL  to
19       this option.
20
21       These commands are not performed when a directory listing is performed,
22       only for file transfers.
23
24       While CURLOPT_QUOTE(3) and CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE(3) work for SFTP, this op‐
25       tion does not.

DEFAULT
