1.1       misho       1: Long: ftp-method
                      2: Arg: <method>
                      3: Help: Control CWD usage
                      4: Protocols: FTP
                      5: Added: 7.15.1
                      6: ---
                      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'.
                     21: .RE
