This URL specifies a *file* named dir, not a directory. You need a trailing slash to specify a directory. > CurlErrorCode = curl_easy_setopt(pCurl, CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY, 1L); Why set this? It's not only documented to be useful for HTTP only, but even if it were usable for FTP, it would prevent anything from being sent. > CurlErrorCode = curl_easy_setopt(pCurl, CURLOPT_USERNAME, user); > CurlErrorCode = curl_easy_setopt(pCurl, CURLOPT_PASSWORD, passwd); > CurlErrorCode = curl_easy_setopt(m_esayH, CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY, 1L); -> here You don't say what m_esayH is, but it doesn't seem relevant when calling curl_easy_perform(pCurl); > without this option I got an error CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND > CurlErrorCode = curl_easy_perform(pCurl); > > then on another function I am trying to delete the file : > > CurlErrorCode = curl_easy_setopt(pCurl, CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE, "DELE File.txt"); > CurlErrorCode = curl_easy_perform(pCurl); > > this last perform return "CURLE_QUOTE_ERROR" If you enable debugging, you'll likely notice that libcurl never enters the directory "dir", because "dir" is specified in the URL to be a file. >>> Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
