- Long: quote
- Short: Q
- Help: Send command(s) to server before transfer
- Protocols: FTP SFTP
- Category: ftp sftp
- ---
- 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 '-'. To make commands be sent after curl
- has changed the working directory, just before the transfer command(s), prefix
- the command with a '+' (this is only supported for FTP). You may specify any
- number of commands.
- If the server returns failure for one of the commands, the entire operation
- will be 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.
- Prefix the command with an asterisk (*) to make curl continue even if the
- command fails as by default curl will stop at first failure.
- This option can be used multiple times.
- SFTP is a binary protocol. Unlike for FTP, curl interprets SFTP quote commands
- itself before sending them to the server. File names may be quoted
- shell-style to embed spaces or special characters. Following is the list of
- all supported SFTP quote commands:
- .RS
- .IP "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
- \fIcurl_getdate(3)\fP man page for date expression details. (Added in 7.73.0)
- .IP "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.
- .IP "chmod mode file"
- The chmod command modifies the file mode bits of the specified file. The
- mode operand is an octal integer mode number.
- .IP "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.
- .IP "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.
- .IP "mkdir directory_name"
- The mkdir command creates the directory named by the directory_name operand.
- .IP "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
- \fIcurl_getdate(3)\fP man page for date expression details. (Added in 7.73.0)
- .IP "pwd"
- The pwd command returns the absolute pathname of the current working directory.
- .IP "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.
- .IP "rm file"
- The rm command removes the file specified by the file operand.
- .IP "rmdir directory"
- The rmdir command removes the directory entry specified by the directory
- operand, provided it is empty.
- .IP "symlink source_file target_file"
- See ln.
- .RE
