curl

    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
