1 Long: ftp-port 2 Arg: <address> 3 Help: Use PORT instead of PASV 4 Short: P 5 Protocols: FTP 6 See-also: ftp-pasv disable-eprt 7 Category: ftp 8 Example: -P - ftp:/example.com 9 Example: -P eth0 ftp:/example.com 10 Example: -P 192.168.0.2 ftp:/example.com 11 Added: 4.0 12 --- 13 Reverses the default initiator/listener roles when connecting with FTP. This 14 option makes curl use active mode. curl then tells the server to connect back 15 to the client's specified address and port, while passive mode asks the server 16 to setup an IP address and port for it to connect to. <address> should be one 17 of: 18 .RS 19 .IP interface 20 e.g. "eth0" to specify which interface's IP address you want to use (Unix only) 21 .IP "IP address" 22 e.g. "192.168.10.1" to specify the exact IP address 23 .IP "host name" 24 e.g. "my.host.domain" to specify the machine 25 .IP "-" 26 make curl pick the same IP address that is already used for the control 27 connection 28 .RE 29 30 If this option is used several times, the last one will be used. Disable the 31 use of PORT with --ftp-pasv. Disable the attempt to use the EPRT command 32 instead of PORT by using --disable-eprt. EPRT is really PORT++. 33 34 You can also append \&":[start]-[end]\&" to the right of the address, to tell 35 curl what TCP port range to use. That means you specify a port range, from a 36 lower to a higher number. A single number works as well, but do note that it 37 increases the risk of failure since the port may not be available. 38 (Added in 7.19.5) 39
