Thanks Daniel. Is there another way to find out whether the file was
completely transferred or not?
I tried using curl_easy_getinfo(), but looks like it returns bytes
transferred, not bytes written on remote server.

curl_easy_getinfo(client, CURLINFO_SIZE_UPLOAD, &sentBytes);

In my example, it returned 321434 for sentBytes, even when filesize on
remote server was zero.

Is there any other way I can detect transfer failed?
Thanks,
Priyanka.
