NAME

CURLOPT_FTP_ALTERNATIVE_TO_USER - command to use instead of USER with FTP  

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_ALTERNATIVE_TO_USER,
                          char *cmd);

 

DESCRIPTION

Pass a char * as parameter, pointing to a string which will be used to authenticate if the usual FTP "USER user" and "PASS password" negotiation fails. This is currently only known to be required when connecting to Tumbleweed's Secure Transport FTPS server using client certificates for authentication.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

  ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);

  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
