CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT(3)

CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT - account info for FTP

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT, char *account);

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

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.

NULL

This functionality affects ftp only

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/foo.bin");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT, "human-resources");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

Added in curl 7.13.0

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
