Using this option, curl will instead attempt to create missing directories. If this option is used twice, the second will again disable directory creation. +.IP "--ftp-method [method]" +(FTP) Control what method curl should use to reach a file on a FTP(S) +server. The method argument should be one of the following alternatives: +.RS +.IP multicwd +curl does a single CWD operation for each path part in the given URL. For deep +hierarchies this means very many commands. This is how RFC1738 says it should +be done. This is the default but the slowest behavior. +.IP nocwd +curl does no CWD at all. curl will do SIZE, RETR, STOR etc and give a full +path to the server for all these commands. This is the fastest behavior. +.IP singlecwd +curl does one CWD with the full target directory and then operates on the file +\&"normally" (like in the multicwd case). This is somewhat more standards +compliant than 'nocwd' but without the full penalty of 'multicwd'. +.RE .IP "--ftp-pasv" (FTP) Use PASV when transferring.
