ftp_type(3)                     C Library Calls                    ftp_type(3)


NAME

       ftp_type - set data type for FTP file transfers


SYNOPSIS

       #include <libfget.h>

       int ftp_type(FTP *ftp, char *type);


VERSION

       This man page documents version 1.3 of libfget.


DESCRIPTION

       The ftp_type() function sets the data transformation type to type.  For
       convenience, macros are provided for the most common types:

       FTP_TYPE_ASCII ("A")
              Transfer data in ASCII mode.

       FTP_TYPE_BINARY ("I")
              Transfer data in binary (also called "image") mode.  This is the
              default.


RETURN VALUE

       The ftp_type() function returns 0 on success, or -1 on error (and sets
       errno).


ERRORS

       The ftp_type() function fails if:

       ECONNRESET
              The server shut down the connection.  The caller is then
              responsible for calling ftp_quit() with the FTP_QUIT_FAST flag
              set.

       ETIMEDOUT
              The operation timed out.  (The timeout interval can be set via
              the FTP_OPT_IO_TIMEOUT option; see the ftp_set_options(3) man
              page for details.)

       EINVAL Unexpected response code received from server.

       EAGAIN An attempt was made to send a request to the server while the
              data connection is open.

       It may also fail for any of the errors specified for the underlying
       poll(2), read(2) or write(2) system calls.
