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