I did this

$ curl -v ftp://anonymous@user/pub/ -Q '+DELE dummy'
*   Trying 192.9.210.201...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to user (192.9.210.201) port 21 (#0)
< 220 (vsFTPd 3.0.3)
> USER anonymous
< 230 Login successful.
> PWD
< 257 "/" is the current directory
* Entry path is '/'
> CWD pub
* ftp_perform ends with SECONDARY: 0
< 250 Directory successfully changed.

I expected the following

DELE dummy command sent after CWD.

curl/libcurl version

Reproduced with the latest (7.82.0) static build from the download page.

operating system

Ubuntu 18.04.6

Linux ZBook-user 5.4.0-104-generic #118~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 3 13:53:15 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

A debug build of curl git did assure me the prequotes were ignored. Using postquotes work.

I don't think it ever worked like that and I don't know why it doesn't... Try this: ftp://anonymous@user/pub/dummy -Q '+DELE dummy'

Hmmm, thanks, it works, but I indeed expected the original to work too.

It seems the state machine was just never done for doing "prequotes" for directory listings!

I'm not too eager to work on polishing the FTP state machine to make this work. At least not in the short term. I personally will prefer to document this as a known limitation for the prequote functionality.
