| .TH CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT 3 "November 04, 2020" "libcurl 7.78.0" "curl_easy_setopt options" |
| |
| .SH NAME |
| CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT \- request a text based transfer for FTP |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| #include <curl/curl.h> |
| |
| CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT, long text); |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| A parameter set to 1 tells the library to use ASCII mode for FTP transfers, |
| instead of the default binary transfer. For win32 systems it does not set the |
| stdout to binary mode. This option can be usable when transferring text data |
| between systems with different views on certain characters, such as newlines |
| or similar. |
| |
| libcurl does not do a complete ASCII conversion when doing ASCII transfers |
| over FTP. This is a known limitation/flaw that nobody has rectified. libcurl |
| simply sets the mode to ASCII and performs a standard transfer. |
| .SH DEFAULT |
| 0, disabled |
| .SH PROTOCOLS |
| FTP |
| .SH EXAMPLE |
| .nf |
| CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); |
| if(curl) { |
| curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/textfile"); |
| curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT, 1L); |
| ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); |
| curl_easy_cleanup(curl); |
| } |
| .fi |
| .SH AVAILABILITY |
| Along with FTP |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| Returns CURLE_OK if FTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. |
| .SH "SEE ALSO" |
| .BR CURLOPT_CRLF "(3), " |
