CURLOPT_INFILESIZE(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options					     CURLOPT_INFILESIZE(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_INFILESIZE - set size of the input file to send off

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, long filesize);

DESCRIPTION

       When  uploading	a  file  to a remote site, filesize should be used to tell libcurl what the expected size of the input file is. This value
       must be passed as a long. See also CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE(3) for sending files larger than 2GB.

       For uploading using SCP, this option or CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE(3) is mandatory.

       To unset this value again, set it to -1.

       When sending emails using SMTP, this command can be used to specify the optional SIZE parameter for the MAIL FROM command.

       This option does not limit how much data libcurl will actually send, as that is controlled entirely by what the read callback returns,  but
       telling one value and sending a different amount may lead to errors.

DEFAULT

       Unset

PROTOCOLS

       Many

EXAMPLE

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 long uploadsize = FILE_SIZE;

	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/destination.tar.gz");

	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1L);

	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, uploadsize);

	 curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY

       SMTP support added in 7.23.0

RETURN VALUE

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

NAME

       CURLOPT_UPLOAD - enable data upload

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, long upload);

DESCRIPTION

       The  long  parameter  upload  set  to 1 tells the library to prepare for and perform an upload. The CURLOPT_READDATA(3) and CURLOPT_INFILE-
       SIZE(3) or CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE(3) options are also interesting for uploads. If the protocol is HTTP, uploading  means  using  the  PUT
       request unless you tell libcurl otherwise.

       Using  PUT  with  HTTP  1.1  implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header.  You can disable this header with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3) as
       usual.

       If you use PUT to a HTTP 1.1 server, you can upload data without knowing the size before starting the transfer if you use chunked encoding.
       You enable this by adding a header like "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3). With HTTP 1.0 or without chunked transfer,
       you must specify the size.

DEFAULT

       0, default is download

PROTOCOLS

EXAMPLE

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 /* we want to use our own read function */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, read_callback);

	 /* enable uploading */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1L);

	 /* specify target */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/dir/to/newfile");

	 /* now specify which pointer to pass to our callback */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READDATA, hd_src);

	 /* Set the size of the file to upload */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE, (curl_off_t)fsize);

	 /* Now run off and do what you've been told! */
	 curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }

       Returns CURLE_OK
