CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH - get entry path in FTP server

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH, char **path);

Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive a pointer to a string holding the path of the entry path. That is the initial path libcurl ended up in when logging on to the remote FTP server. This stores a NULL as pointer if something is wrong.

The path pointer will be NULL or pointing to private memory you MUST NOT free - it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding CURL handle.

FTP(S) and SFTP

  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com");

    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    if(!res) {
      /* extract the entry path */
      char *ep = NULL;
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH, &ep);
      if(!res && ep) {
        printf("Entry path was: %s\n", ep);
      }
    }
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }

Added in 7.15.4. Works for SFTP since 7.21.4

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
