CURLOPT_FTPSSLAUTH(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_FTPSSLAUTH(3)

CURLOPT_FTPSSLAUTH - order in which to attempt TLS vs SSL

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTPSSLAUTH, long order);

Pass a long using one of the values from below, to alter how libcurl issues "AUTH TLS" or "AUTH SSL" when FTP over SSL is activated. This is only interesting if CURLOPT_USE_SSL(3) is also set.

Possible order values:

Allow libcurl to decide.
Try "AUTH SSL" first, and only if that fails try "AUTH TLS".
Try "AUTH TLS" first, and only if that fails try "AUTH SSL".

CURLFTPAUTH_DEFAULT

This functionality affects ftp only

int main(void)
{

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/file.txt");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USE_SSL, CURLUSESSL_TRY);
/* funny server, ask for SSL before TLS */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTPSSLAUTH, (long)CURLFTPAUTH_SSL);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
} }

Added in curl 7.12.2

curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).

CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC(3), CURLOPT_USE_SSL(3)
