                     26: CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT \- request a text based transfer for FTP
                     27: .SH SYNOPSIS
                     28: #include <curl/curl.h>
                     29: 
                     30: CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT, long text);
                     31: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     32: A parameter set to 1 tells the library to use ASCII mode for FTP transfers,
                     33: instead of the default binary transfer. For win32 systems it does not set the
                     34: stdout to binary mode. This option can be usable when transferring text data
                     35: between systems with different views on certain characters, such as newlines
                     36: or similar.
                     37: 
                     38: libcurl does not do a complete ASCII conversion when doing ASCII transfers
                     39: over FTP. This is a known limitation/flaw that nobody has rectified. libcurl
                     40: simply sets the mode to ASCII and performs a standard transfer.
                     41: .SH DEFAULT
