CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT(3)             libcurl            CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT(3)


NAME

       CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT - use EPRT for FTP


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT, long enabled);


DESCRIPTION

       Pass a long. If the value is 1, it tells curl to use the EPRT command
       when doing active FTP downloads (which is enabled by
       CURLOPT_FTPPORT(3)). Using EPRT means that it will first attempt to use
       EPRT before using PORT, but if you pass zero to this option, it will
       not try using EPRT, only plain PORT.

       If the server is an IPv6 host, this option will have no effect as EPRT
       is necessary then.

         /* FTP the way the neanderthals did it */
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT, 0L);
