        !             4: Protocols: FTP
        !             5: Added: 7.15.1

        !             7: Control what method curl should use to reach a file on an FTP(S)
        !             8: server. The method argument should be one of the following alternatives:
        !             9: .RS
        !            10: .IP multicwd
        !            11: curl does a single CWD operation for each path part in the given URL. For deep
        !            12: hierarchies this means very many commands. This is how RFC 1738 says it should
        !            13: be done. This is the default but the slowest behavior.
        !            14: .IP nocwd
        !            15: curl does no CWD at all. curl will do SIZE, RETR, STOR etc and give a full
        !            16: path to the server for all these commands. This is the fastest behavior.
        !            17: .IP singlecwd
        !            18: curl does one CWD with the full target directory and then operates on the file
        !            19: \&"normally" (like in the multicwd case). This is somewhat more standards
        !            20: compliant than 'nocwd' but without the full penalty of 'multicwd'.
