# `--quote`
|
|
|
|
Send an arbitrary command to the remote FTP or SFTP server. Quote commands are
|
|
sent BEFORE the transfer takes place (just after the initial **PWD** command
|
|
in an FTP transfer, to be exact). To make commands take place after a
|
|
successful transfer, prefix them with a dash '-'.
|
|
|
|
(FTP only) To make commands be sent after curl has changed the working
|
|
directory, just before the file transfer command(s), prefix the command with a
|
|
'+'. This is not performed when a directory listing is performed.
|
|
|
|
You may specify any number of commands.
|
|
|
|
By default curl stops at first failure. To make curl continue even if the
|
|
command fails, prefix the command with an asterisk (*). Otherwise, if the
|
|
server returns failure for one of the commands, the entire operation is
|
|
aborted.
|
|
|
|
You must send syntactically correct FTP commands as RFC 959 defines to FTP
|
|
servers, or one of the commands listed below to SFTP servers.
|
|
|
|
SFTP is a binary protocol. Unlike for FTP, curl interprets SFTP quote commands
|
|
itself before sending them to the server. Filenames may be quoted shell-style
|
|
to embed spaces or special characters. Following is the list of all supported
|
|
SFTP quote commands:
|
|
|
|
## atime date file
|
|
The atime command sets the last access time of the file named by the file
|
|
operand. The date expression can be all sorts of date strings, see the
|
|
*curl_getdate(3)* man page for date expression details. (Added in 7.73.0)
|
|
|
|
## chgrp group file
|
|
The chgrp command sets the group ID of the file named by the file operand to
|
|
the group ID specified by the group operand. The group operand is a decimal
|
|
integer group ID.
|
|
|
|
## chmod mode file
|
|
The chmod command modifies the file mode bits of the specified file. The
|
|
mode operand is an octal integer mode number.
|
|
|
|
## chown user file
|
|
The chown command sets the owner of the file named by the file operand to the
|
|
user ID specified by the user operand. The user operand is a decimal
|
|
integer user ID.
|
|
|
|
## ln source_file target_file
|
|
The ln and symlink commands create a symbolic link at the target_file location
|
|
pointing to the source_file location.
|
|
|
|
## mkdir directory_name
|
|
The mkdir command creates the directory named by the directory_name operand.
|
|
|
|
## mtime date file
|
|
The mtime command sets the last modification time of the file named by the
|
|
file operand. The date expression can be all sorts of date strings, see the
|
|
*curl_getdate(3)* man page for date expression details. (Added in 7.73.0)
|
|
|
|
## pwd
|
|
The pwd command returns the absolute path name of the current working directory.
|
|
|
|
## rename source target
|
|
The rename command renames the file or directory named by the source
|
|
operand to the destination path named by the target operand.
|
|
|
|
## rm file
|
|
The rm command removes the file specified by the file operand.
|
|
|
|
## rmdir directory
|
|
The rmdir command removes the directory entry specified by the directory
|
|
operand, provided it is empty.
|
|
|
|
## symlink source_file target_file
|
|
See ln.
