I need to be able to delete and rename files using ftp via libcurl. I can do this with:
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL,ftp://<host>/); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "xxx:yyy"); cmdlist = curl_slist_append(cmdlist, "DELE /c/temp/ftp/a.txt"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_QUOTE, cmdlist); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); however after running the DELE command, curl also performs a LIST which I do not want since this could be the LIST of a large folder. I have tried to replace the LIST with another command, for example NOOP, and whilst this then runs the NOOP, it fails saying that the RETR failed: > DELE /c/temp/ftp/a.txt * ftp_perform ends with SECONDARY: 0 < 250 DELE command successful. > EPSV * Connect data stream passively < 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||58676|) > TYPE A < 200 Type set to A. > NOOP < 200 NOOP command successful. * RETR response: 200 curl rc 19 FTP: couldn't retrieve (RETR failed) the specified file I have seen another thread which says that the resolution would to remove the CURLOPT_URL, but I don't know who this could work since this option specifies the connect host. I can leave this code as-is and ignore rc19, but this is not elegant, so looking for a better solution to allow me to run commands on the FTP server without listing the folder contents or having it issue the unwanted RETR. Thanks,
