libcurl has no notion of "current path". But yes, you can put the downloaded
data anywhere you like. In memory or in a file or whatever you think it should
do.

libcurl is written for file transfers and it is best used for file transfers.
It is not a generic FTP protocol library. But I think you can use most FTP
commands with it.

SFTP is generally a name for a FTP look-alike protocol they use over SSH and
is not supported by libcurl. It might be in the future, but that is not
planned.

FTPS, or FTP-SSL, is supported by libcurl and is basically FTP with SSL
powers.

Why would you do such a hack? libcurl works on URLs and it tries hard to do
these things on its own, so your additional commands will most likely confuse
or simply duplicate libcurl's efforts.

By reading what header responses you got back or not, I guess.

It wouldn't be "crashed" at all, it would've been disconnected.

And you should add the custom commands you want libcurl to send, so you need
to figure out what commands those are.
