.SH SYNOPSIS

|
.nf

#include <curl/curl.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Pass a long. If the value is 1, it tells curl to use the EPRT command when
|
|
|
|
doing active FTP downloads (which is enabled by
|
|
|
|
\fICURLOPT_FTPPORT(3)\fP). Using EPRT means that libcurl first attempts to use
|
|
|
|
EPRT before using PORT, but if you pass zero to this option, it avoids using
|
|
|
|
EPRT, only plain PORT.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The EPRT command is a slightly newer addition to the FTP protocol than PORT
|
|
|
|
and is the preferred command to use since it enables IPv6 to be used. Old FTP
|
|
|
|
servers might not support it, which is why libcurl has a fallback mechanism.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes that fallback is not enough and then this option might come handy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the server is an IPv6 host, this option has no effect as EPRT is necessary
|
|
|
|
then.
