.IP "-Q, --quote <command>"
(FTP/SFTP) Send an arbitrary command to the remote FTP or SFTP server. Quote
-commands are sent BEFORE the transfer takes place (just after the
-initial PWD command in an FTP transfer, to be exact). To make commands
-take place after a successful transfer, prefix them with a dash '-'.
-To make commands be sent after libcurl has changed the working directory,
-just before the transfer command(s), prefix the command with a '+' (this
-is only supported for FTP). You may specify any number of commands. If
-the server returns failure for one of the commands, the entire operation
-will be aborted. You must send syntactically correct FTP commands as
-RFC 959 defines to FTP servers, or one of the commands listed below to
-SFTP servers. This option can be used multiple times.

SFTP is a binary protocol. Unlike for FTP, libcurl interprets SFTP quote
commands itself before sending them to the server. File names may be quoted
