CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET(3)	   Library Functions Manual    CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET(3)

NAME

       CURLcode	curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, long enable);

DESCRIPTION
       Pass  a	long.  If the value is 1, it tells curl	to send	a PRET command
       before PASV (and	EPSV). Certain FTP  servers,  mainly  drftpd,  require
       this  non-standard  command  for	 directory  listings as	well as	up and
       downloads in PASV mode. Has no effect when using	the active FTP	trans-
       fers mode.

DEFAULT

	 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
	 if(curl) {
	   CURLcode res;

			    "ftp://example.com/old-server/file.txt");

	   /* a	drftpd server, do it */
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET,	1L);

	   res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

	   curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
	 }
       }
