Curl will normally always first attempt to use EPRT, then LPRT +before using PORT, but with this option, it will use PORT right away. EPRT and +LPRT are extensions to the original FTP protocol, and may not work on all +servers, but they enable more functionality in a better way than the +traditional PORT command. + +--eprt can be used to explicitly enable EPRT again and --no-eprt is an alias +for --disable-eprt. + +If the server is accessed using IPv6, this option will have no effect as EPRT +is necessary then. + +Disabling EPRT only changes the active behavior. If you want to switch to +passive mode you need to not use --ftp-port or force it with --ftp-pasv. |
