19# SYNOPSIS

21~~~c
22#include <curl/curl.h>

27# DESCRIPTION
28
29Pass a long. If the value is 1, it tells curl to send a PRET command before
30PASV (and EPSV). Certain FTP servers, mainly drftpd, require this non-standard
31command for directory listings as well as up and downloads in PASV mode. Has
32no effect when using the active FTP transfers mode.
