# `--ftp-method`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## multicwd
|
||
|
|
Do a single CWD operation for each path part in the given URL. For deep
|
||
|
|
hierarchies this means many commands. This is how RFC 1738 says it should be
|
||
|
|
done. This is the default but the slowest behavior.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## nocwd
|
||
|
|
Do no CWD at all. curl does SIZE, RETR, STOR etc and gives the full path to
|
||
|
|
the server for each of these commands. This is the fastest behavior.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## singlecwd
|
||
|
|
Do one CWD with the full target directory and then operate on the file
|
||
|
|
"normally" (like in the multicwd case). This is somewhat more standards
|
||
|
|
compliant than `nocwd` but without the full penalty of `multicwd`.
