For win32 systems it does not set the +stdout to binary mode. This option can be usable when transferring text data +between systems with different views on certain characters, such as newlines +or similar. + +libcurl does not do a complete ASCII conversion when doing ASCII transfers +over FTP. This is a known limitation/flaw that nobody has rectified. libcurl +simply sets the mode to ASCII and performs a standard transfer. +.SH DEFAULT +0, disabled +.SH PROTOCOLS +FTP +.SH EXAMPLE +.nf +CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); +if(curl) { + curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/textfile"); + curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT, 1L); + ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); + curl_easy_cleanup(curl); +} +.fi +.SH AVAILABILITY +Along with FTP +.SH RETURN VALUE +Returns CURLE_OK if FTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR CURLOPT_CRLF "(3), " |
