This option is deprecated since version 7.12.1. Use CURLOPT_UPLOAD(3).

DEFAULT

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects http only

EXAMPLE

static size_t read_cb(char *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userdata)
{


  FILE *src = userdata;


  /* copy as much data as possible into the 'ptr' buffer, but no more than


     'size' * 'nmemb' bytes */


  size_t retcode = fread(ptr, size, nmemb, src);


  return retcode;
}
int main(void)
{


  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();


  if(curl) {


    FILE *src = fopen("local-file", "r");


    curl_off_t fsize = 123456; /* set this to the size of the input file */


    /* we want to use our own read function */


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, read_cb);


    /* enable PUT */


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1L);


    /* specify target */


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/dir/to/newfile");


    /* now specify which pointer to pass to our callback */


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READDATA, src);


    /* Set the size of the file to upload */


    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE, (curl_off_t)fsize);


    /* Now run off and do what you have been told */


    curl_easy_perform(curl);


  }
