NAME
     CURLOPT_PUT - make an HTTP PUT request

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curl/curl.h>

     CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PUT, long put);

DESCRIPTION
     A	parameter  set	to 1 tells the library to use HTTP PUT to transfer data.
     The data should be set with CURLOPT_READDATA(3) and CURLOPT_INFILESIZE(3).

     This option is deprecated since version 7.12.1. Use CURLOPT_UPLOAD(3).

DEFAULT
     0, disabled

PROTOCOLS
     This functionality affects http only

EXAMPLE
     static size_t read_cb(char *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userdata)
     {
       FILE *src = userdata;
       /* copy as much data as possible into the 'ptr' buffer, but no more than
	  'size' * 'nmemb' bytes */
       size_t retcode = fread(ptr, size, nmemb, src);

       return retcode;
     }

     int main(void)
     {
       CURL *curl;
       FILE *src = fopen("local-file", "r");
       if(!src)
	 return 1;
       curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 CURLcode result;
	 curl_off_t fsize = 123456; /* set this to the size of the input file */

	 /* we want to use our own read function */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, read_cb);

	 /* enable PUT */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1L);

	 /* specify target */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/dir/to/newfile");

	 /* now specify which pointer to pass to our callback */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READDATA, src);

	 /* Set the size of the file to upload */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE, (curl_off_t)fsize);

	 /* Now run off and do what you have been told */
	 result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
	 curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
       fclose(src);
     }
