Daniel,

It will put me into $HOME/tmp, not into /tmp. The goal is to CWD out of
the home directory tree.

Yes, the only sensible way at least.

Yes, but you should only set one URL for each transfer since libcurl can
only
do one file per transfer.

You set CURLOPT_URL to something like:

         ftp://sambuild:password@geniosol9//tmp/filesize

and invoke curl_easy_perform(). (Replace "password" with your actual
password.)
