Hello Troll,

a late answer, but perhaps still helpful:

How about creating the config file by a shell script / batch file on the fly (example not tried, just as idea) ?

echo -u username:password > configfile.txt
echo -T "%APPDATA%\\file.rar" >> configfile.txt
echo --url ftp://myhost.com/directory/ >> configfile.txt
curl -K configfile.txt

Then you can write into configfile.txt everything the shell / DOS offers, not depending on build in functionality of curl...

Best regards,

Martin

  I would like to do it but I'm not a programmer, I'm an end-user who searches for a tiny command-line ftp tool that accepts file_to_upload parameter from a config file and recognizes win envir vars in it !!

  Oh right, that's correct. curl makes not attempts of converting such a thing.

  There's currently no way to make it do so. It also doesn't recognize other system's environment variables...

  I guess we should consider adding this. You up to working on this for Windows?
