GNURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT(3)

📦 version 7.72.0, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to the GNURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT(3) page from the curl_easy_setopt options manual 💅✨. This one is all about CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT — set account info for FTP. Yes, it's giving very specific FTP energy, and we respect it 🫶.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       #include <gnurl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT, char
       *account);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string — or NULL to disable — as account. When an FTP server asks for "account data" after user name and password has been provided, this data is sent off using the ACCT command 💌.

Your application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option. Curl is not asking you to babysit that string forever, bestie 😌.

✨ DEFAULT ✨

NULL 🌸. That's the default, no cap.

✨ PROTOCOLS ✨

FTP 🦋. That's the whole protocol vibe here.

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/foo.bin");

         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT, "human-resources");

         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);

         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }

✨ AVAILABILITY ✨

Added in 7.13.0 ⭐. Historic icon behavior, honestly.

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

  • CURLE_OK — the option is supported, slay ✅
  • CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION — the option is not supported 😭
  • CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY — there was insufficient heap space 💀

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

Go peek at CURLOPT_USERNAME(3) and CURLOPT_PASSWORD(3), bestie 🫶.
