Hello! I have a question about the initial LIST that is performed when connecting to an FTP server. The LIST command being performed is not a big problem, I just want to avoid unnecessary data transfers and in this particular scenario I just want to establish a connection to the server, which I later can re-use and do whatever FTP commands.
This is the verbose output from libcurl: * About to connect() to localhost port 21 (#0) * Trying 127.0.0.1... * connected * Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 21 (#0) < 220 FileZilla Server version 0.9.36 beta > USER ftpdbg < 331 Password required for ftpdbg > PASS ****** < 230 Logged on > PWD < 257 "/" is current directory. * Entry path is '/' > EPSV * Connect data stream passively < 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||3705|) * Trying 127.0.0.1... * connected * Connecting to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 3705 > TYPE A < 200 Type set to A > LIST <------------------------- This is what I am asking about < 150 Connection accepted ... As I understand this will be performed if a server URL ends with '/'. However, the URL I provide to libcurl is "ftp://localhost";, not ending with '/' I'm guessing that the statement "Entry path is '/'" could be reason that the lib thinks that the current path ends with '/'. This is not a huge problem, I disable the data callback with CURLOPT_NOBODY=1. Is there any other way of preventing this initial LIST? Best regards, Mehmet. P.S This is my first post on a mailing list such as this and if I'm not adhering to mail etiquette or if this is'nt the right forum for my question, please correct me. ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
