  Ah, thanks. I thought that I didn't find the option for that.

  Hmmm. First impression I have is:

curl_easy_setopt (curl, COMMANDS_ONLY, YES);

  This is not soooo nice but I will give the needed behaviour. At the

was the choice of using a tool instead of implementing all the needed
ftp-stuff based on a socket-library or so.
