NAME

CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC - switch off SSL again with FTP after auth

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC,
                          long how);

DESCRIPTION

If enabled, this option makes libcurl use CCC (Clear Command Channel). It shuts down the SSL/TLS layer after authenticating. The rest of the control channel communication remains unencrypted. This allows NAT routers to follow the FTP transaction. Pass a long using one of the values below

CURLFTPSSL_CCC_NONE: do not attempt to use CCC.
CURLFTPSSL_CCC_PASSIVE: Do not initiate the shutdown, but wait for the server to do it. Do not send a reply.
CURLFTPSSL_CCC_ACTIVE: Initiate the shutdown and wait for a reply.

DEFAULT

CURLFTPSSL_CCC_NONE

PROTOCOLS

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USE_SSL, CURLUSESSL_CONTROL);
    /* go back to clear-text FTP after authenticating */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC, (long)CURLFTPSSL_CCC_ACTIVE);
