You can't do a LIST command as a pre- or post-quote command. A LIST requires
much more than just sending a command and awaiting the response; it involves
setting up a secondary data connection and performing a file transfer.
To perform a directory listing, put a slash at the of the URL (i.e.
ftp://137.212.232.82//home/oamops/cid/) or use the CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY
option.

Sending a CWD as a pre- or post-quote command is not recommended as it messes
up the ftp state machine.

A directory listing is considered a data transfer, so it goes to the
WRITEFUNCTION.
