curl

    1: Long: quote
    2: Short: Q
    3: Help: Send command(s) to server before transfer
    4: Protocols: FTP SFTP
    5: ---
    6: 
    7: Send an arbitrary command to the remote FTP or SFTP server. Quote commands are
    8: sent BEFORE the transfer takes place (just after the initial PWD command in an
    9: FTP transfer, to be exact). To make commands take place after a successful
   10: transfer, prefix them with a dash '-'.  To make commands be sent after curl
   11: has changed the working directory, just before the transfer command(s), prefix
   12: the command with a '+' (this is only supported for FTP). You may specify any
   13: number of commands.
   14: 
   15: If the server returns failure for one of the commands, the entire operation
   16: will be aborted. You must send syntactically correct FTP commands as RFC 959
   17: defines to FTP servers, or one of the commands listed below to SFTP servers.
   18: 
   19: Prefix the command with an asterisk (*) to make curl continue even if the
   20: command fails as by default curl will stop at first failure.
   21: 
   22: This option can be used multiple times.
   23: 
   24: SFTP is a binary protocol. Unlike for FTP, curl interprets SFTP quote commands
   25: itself before sending them to the server.  File names may be quoted
   26: shell-style to embed spaces or special characters.  Following is the list of
   27: all supported SFTP quote commands:
   28: .RS
   29: .IP "chgrp group file"
   30: The chgrp command sets the group ID of the file named by the file operand to
   31: the group ID specified by the group operand. The group operand is a decimal
   32: integer group ID.
   33: .IP "chmod mode file"
   34: The chmod command modifies the file mode bits of the specified file. The
   35: mode operand is an octal integer mode number.
   36: .IP "chown user file"
   37: The chown command sets the owner of the file named by the file operand to the
   38: user ID specified by the user operand. The user operand is a decimal
   39: integer user ID.
   40: .IP "ln source_file target_file"
   41: The ln and symlink commands create a symbolic link at the target_file location
   42: pointing to the source_file location.
   43: .IP "mkdir directory_name"
   44: The mkdir command creates the directory named by the directory_name operand.
   45: .IP "pwd"
   46: The pwd command returns the absolute pathname of the current working directory.
   47: .IP "rename source target"
   48: The rename command renames the file or directory named by the source
   49: operand to the destination path named by the target operand.
   50: .IP "rm file"
   51: The rm command removes the file specified by the file operand.
   52: .IP "rmdir directory"
   53: The rmdir command removes the directory entry specified by the directory
   54: operand, provided it is empty.
   55: .IP "symlink source_file target_file"
   56: See ln.
