.TH CURLOPT_FTPPORT 3 "17 Jun 2014" libcurl libcurl
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_FTPPORT \- make FTP transfer active
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTPPORT, char *spec);
|
|
.fi
|
|
.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 host name, a
|
|
network interface name (under Unix) or just a '-' symbol to let the library
|
|
use your system's default IP address. Default FTP operations are passive, and
|
|
does not use the PORT command.
|
|
|
|
The address can be followed by a ':' to specify a port, optionally followed by
|
|
a '-' 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.
|
|
|
|
Examples with specified ports:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
eth0:0
|
|
192.168.1.2:32000-33000
|
|
curl.se:32123
|
|
[::1]:1234-4567
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
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.
