I don't understand why you consider that "starting from scratch". You connect
to the site and get the files and then you already set the URL and user name
and everything in the easy handle. Doing a second request to the same URL with
the same user name and so on should require very little extra code on your
behalf.

That sounds like a good approach.

Setting options while a request is in progress is a bit of a grey area and I
try to avoid promising what will happen then. The best approach is to allow
the file transfer request to complete and then do a second request to do the
range of renames, as that request will re-use the connection etc it won't be
any noticable delay in time or anothing, but with the added benefit that
you'll use the API as intended.

Yes, you re-use the same curl handle and you just "disable" the options you
don't like in your request request.
