CURLOPT_FTP_ALTERNATIVE_TO_USER - command to use instead of USER with FTP

  #include <curl/curl.h>

  CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_ALTERNATIVE_TO_USER,
                            char *cmd);

Pass a char * as parameter, pointing to a string which will be used to authenticate if the usual FTP “USER user” and “PASS password” negotiation fails. This is currently only known to be required when connecting to Tumbleweed’s Secure Transport FTPS server using client certificates for authentication.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

    ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);

  }
