+Long: quote
+Help: Send command(s) to server before transfer
+Protocols: FTP SFTP
+---
+
+Send an arbitrary command to the remote FTP or SFTP server. Quote commands are
+sent BEFORE the transfer takes place (just after the initial PWD command in an
+FTP transfer, to be exact). To make commands take place after a successful
+transfer, prefix them with a dash '-'. To make commands be sent after curl
+has changed the working directory, just before the transfer command(s), prefix
+the command with a '+' (this is only supported for FTP). You may specify any
+number of commands.
+
+If the server returns failure for one of the commands, the entire operation
+will be aborted. You must send syntactically correct FTP commands as RFC 959
+defines to FTP servers, or one of the commands listed below to SFTP servers.
+
+This option can be used multiple times. When speaking to an FTP server, prefix
+the command with an asterisk (*) to make curl continue even if the command
+fails as by default curl will stop at first failure.
+
+SFTP is a binary protocol. Unlike for FTP, curl interprets SFTP quote commands
+itself before sending them to the server. File names may be quoted
+shell-style to embed spaces or special characters. Following is the list of
+all supported SFTP quote commands:
+.RS
+.IP "chgrp group file"
+The chgrp command sets the group ID of the file named by the file operand to
+the group ID specified by the group operand. The group operand is a decimal
+integer group ID.
+.IP "chmod mode file"
+The chmod command modifies the file mode bits of the specified file. The
+mode operand is an octal integer mode number.
+.IP "chown user file"
+The chown command sets the owner of the file named by the file operand to the
+user ID specified by the user operand. The user operand is a decimal
+integer user ID.
+.IP "ln source_file target_file"
+The ln and symlink commands create a symbolic link at the target_file location
+pointing to the source_file location.
+.IP "mkdir directory_name"
+The mkdir command creates the directory named by the directory_name operand.
+.IP "pwd"
+The pwd command returns the absolute pathname of the current working directory.
+.IP "rename source target"
+The rename command renames the file or directory named by the source
+operand to the destination path named by the target operand.
+.IP "rm file"
+The rm command removes the file specified by the file operand.
+.IP "rmdir directory"
+The rmdir command removes the directory entry specified by the directory
+operand, provided it is empty.
+.IP "symlink source_file target_file"
+See ln.

+Help: Retry request if transient problems occur
+---
+If a transient error is returned when curl tries to perform a transfer, it
+will retry this number of times before giving up. Setting the number to 0
+makes curl do no retries (which is the default). Transient error means either:
+a timeout, an FTP 4xx response code or an HTTP 5xx response code.
+
+When curl is about to retry a transfer, it will first wait one second and then
+for all forthcoming retries it will double the waiting time until it reaches
+10 minutes which then will be the delay between the rest of the retries. By
+using --retry-delay you disable this exponential backoff algorithm. See also
+--retry-max-time to limit the total time allowed for retries.
+
+If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
