| .TH CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS 3 "19 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options" |
| .SH NAME |
| CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS \- create missing dirs for FTP and SFTP |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .nf |
| #include <curl/curl.h> |
| |
| typedef enum { |
| CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_NONE, |
| CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR, |
| CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY |
| } curl_ftpcreatedir; |
| |
| CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS, |
| long create); |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| Pass a long telling libcurl to \fIcreate\fP the dir. If the value is |
| \fICURLFTP_CREATE_DIR\fP (1), libcurl will attempt to create any remote |
| directory that it fails to "move" into. |
| |
| For FTP requests, that means a CWD command fails. CWD being the command that |
| changes working directory. |
| |
| For SFTP requests, libcurl will attempt to create the remote directory if it |
| can't obtain a handle to the target-location. The creation will fail if a file |
| of the same name as the directory to create already exists or lack of |
| permissions prevents creation. |
| |
| Setting \fIcreate\fP to \fICURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY\fP (2), tells libcurl to |
| retry the CWD command again if the subsequent MKD command fails. This is |
| especially useful if you're doing many simultaneous connections against the |
| same server and they all have this option enabled, as then CWD may first fail |
| but then another connection does MKD before this connection and thus MKD fails |
| but trying CWD works! |
| .SH DEFAULT |
| CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_NONE (0) |
| .SH PROTOCOLS |
| FTP and SFTP |
| .SH EXAMPLE |
| .nf |
| CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); |
| if(curl) { |
| curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/non-existing/new.txt"); |
| curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS, |
| CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY); |
| |
| ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); |
| |
| curl_easy_cleanup(curl); |
| } |
| .fi |
| .SH AVAILABILITY |
| Added in 7.10.7. SFTP support added in 7.16.3. The retry option was added in |
| 7.19.4. |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if the |
| create value is not. |
| .SH "SEE ALSO" |
| .BR CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD "(3), " CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV "(3), " |
