Control what method curl should use to reach a file on an FTP(S)
|
|
server. The method argument should be one of the following alternatives:
|
|
.RS
|
|
.IP multicwd
|
|
curl does a single CWD operation for each path part in the given URL. For deep
|
|
hierarchies this means very many commands. This is how RFC 1738 says it should
|
|
be done. This is the default but the slowest behavior.
|
|
.IP nocwd
|
|
curl does no CWD at all. curl will do SIZE, RETR, STOR etc and give a full
|
|
path to the server for all these commands. This is the fastest behavior.
|
|
.IP singlecwd
|
|
curl does one CWD with the full target directory and then operates on the file
|
|
\&"normally" (like in the multicwd case). This is somewhat more standards
|
|
compliant than 'nocwd' but without the full penalty of 'multicwd'.
