.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
Pass a pointer to a null\-terminated string as parameter. It specifies that the
|
|
|
|
|
FTP transfer should be made actively and the given string is used to get the
|
|
|
|
|
IP address to use for the FTP PORT instruction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The PORT instruction tells the remote server to do a TCP connect to our
|
|
|
|
|
specified IP address. The string may be a plain IP address, a hostname, a
|
|
|
|
|
network interface name (under Unix) or just a \(aq\-\(aq symbol to let the library
|
|
|
|
|
use your system\(aqs default IP address. Default FTP operations are passive, and
|
|
|
|
|
does not use the PORT command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The address can be followed by a \(aq:\(aq to specify a port, optionally followed by
|
|
|
|
|
a \(aq\-\(aq to specify a port range. If the port specified is 0, the operating
|
|
|
|
|
system picks a free port. If a range is provided and all ports in the range
|
|
|
|
|
are not available, libcurl reports CURLE_FTP_PORT_FAILED for the
|
|
|
|
|
handle. Invalid port/range settings are ignored. IPv6 addresses followed by a
|
|
|
|
|
port or port range have to be in brackets. IPv6 addresses without port/range
|
|
|
|
|
specifier can be in brackets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
We strongly advise against specifying the address with a name, as it causes
|
|
|
|
|
libcurl to do a blocking name resolve call to retrieve the IP address. That
|
|
|
|
|
name resolve operation does \fBnot\fP use DNS\-over\-HTTPS even if
|
|
|
|
|
\fICURLOPT_DOH_URL(3)\fP is set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using anything else than "\-" for this option should typically only be done if
|
|
|
|
|
you have special knowledge and confirmation that it works.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You disable PORT again and go back to using the passive version by setting
|
|
|
|
|
this option to NULL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
|
|
|
|
|
option.
