! 25: .SH NAME
! 26: CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS \- create missing dirs for FTP and SFTP
! 27: .SH SYNOPSIS
! 28: .nf
! 29: #include <curl/curl.h>
! 30:
! 31: typedef enum {
! 32: CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_NONE,
! 33: CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR,
! 34: CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY
! 35: } curl_ftpcreatedir;
! 36:
! 37: CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS,
! 38: long create);
! 39: .SH DESCRIPTION
! 40: Pass a long telling libcurl to \fIcreate\fP the dir. If the value is
! 41: \fICURLFTP_CREATE_DIR\fP (1), libcurl will attempt to create any remote
! 42: directory that it fails to "move" into.
! 43:
! 44: For FTP requests, that means a CWD command fails. CWD being the command that
! 45: changes working directory.
! 46:
! 47: For SFTP requests, libcurl will attempt to create the remote directory if it
! 48: can't obtain a handle to the target-location. The creation will fail if a file
! 49: of the same name as the directory to create already exists or lack of
! 50: permissions prevents creation.
! 51:
! 52: Setting \fIcreate\fP to \fICURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY\fP (2), tells libcurl to
! 53: retry the CWD command again if the subsequent MKD command fails. This is
! 54: especially useful if you're doing many simultaneous connections against the
! 55: same server and they all have this option enabled, as then CWD may first fail
! 56: but then another connection does MKD before this connection and thus MKD fails
! 57: but trying CWD works!
! 58: .SH DEFAULT
! 59: CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_NONE (0)
! 60: .SH PROTOCOLS
! 61: FTP and SFTP
! 62: .SH EXAMPLE
! 63: .nf
! 64: CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
! 65: if(curl) {
! 66: curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/non-existing/new.txt");
! 67: curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS,
! 68: CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY);
! 69:
! 70: ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
! 71:
! 72: curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
! 73: }
! 74: .fi
! 75: .SH AVAILABILITY
! 76: Added in 7.10.7. SFTP support added in 7.16.3. The retry option was added in
! 77: 7.19.4.
! 78: .SH RETURN VALUE
! 79: Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if the
! 80: create value is not.
! 81: .SH "SEE ALSO"
