CURLOPT_PREQUOTE(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_PREQUOTE(3) NAME CURLOPT_PREQUOTE - commands to run before an FTP transfer SYNOPSIS #include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PREQUOTE, struct curl_slist *cmds); DESCRIPTION Pass a pointer to a linked list of FTP commands to pass to the server after the transfer type is set. The linked list should be a fully valid list of struct curl_slist structs properly filled in as described for CUR- LOPT_QUOTE(3). Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again. libcurl does not copy the list, it needs to be kept around until after the transfer has completed. While CURLOPT_QUOTE(3) and CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE(3) work for SFTP, this option does not. DEFAULT NULL PROTOCOLS This functionality affects ftp only EXAMPLE int main(void) { struct curl_slist *cmdlist = NULL; cmdlist = curl_slist_append(cmdlist, "SYST"); CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { CURLcode result; curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/foo.bin"); /* pass in the FTP commands to run */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PREQUOTE, cmdlist); result = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } curl_slist_free_all(cmdlist); } AVAILABILITY Added in curl 7.9.5 RETURN VALUE curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3). SEE ALSO CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE(3), CURLOPT_QUOTE(3) libcurl 2026-06-11 CURLOPT_PREQUOTE(3)
