# CURLOPT\_POSTQUOTE(3)

(S)FTP commands to run after the transfer

## NAME

CURLOPT\_POSTQUOTE - (S)FTP commands to run after the transfer

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE,
                          struct curl_slist *cmds);
```

## DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a linked list of FTP or SFTP commands to pass to the server after your FTP transfer request. The commands are only issues if no error occur. The linked list should be a fully valid list of struct curl\_slist structs properly filled in as described for *[CURLOPT\_QUOTE(3)](/CURLOPT_QUOTE/3.md)*.

Disable this operation again by setting a NULL to this option.

## DEFAULT

NULL

## PROTOCOLS

SFTP and FTP

## EXAMPLE

```
int main(void)
{
  struct curl_slist *cmdlist = NULL;
  cmdlist = curl_slist_append(cmdlist, "RNFR source-name");
  cmdlist = curl_slist_append(cmdlist, "RNTO new-name");
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/foo.bin");
    /* pass in the FTP commands to run after the transfer */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE, cmdlist);
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
```

## AVAILABILITY

## RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE\_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE\_UNKNOWN\_OPTION if not.
