Thanks for the quick reply. What I want to do is issue a 'get' command for file transfer (I simplified the example by using 'bin' instead). My 'get' failed with results identical to the 'bin' failure (i.e., 502 Command not implemented), so I figured I was doing something wrong with the quoting - although that doesn't appear to be the case. Once I can retrieve files via the command line, I need to graduate and obtain them programmatically using libcurl.

Here is the debug output from command curl -v --trace log.txt ftp://name:password@123.456.7.89 -Q'cd mem', which also failed in the same manner as 'bin' and 'get' (xx entries added by me!). BTW, I have tried all of these commands via the shell command line and all worked successfully. Thanks again for your help!

Hello. Although the documentation covers this pretty well, I can't get FTP
quoting to work. Here's a simple session that tries quoting the FTP command
'bin':
    

[...]
  

bin
      

* FTP 0xadf00 state change from STOP to QUOTE
< 502 Command not implemented.
    

Looks like quoting worked fine--curl sent the command 'bin' just like you
asked.  You probably didn't want to send 'bin', though; if you want to 
emulate what the 'bin' command does in the ftp command-line client, you
need to enable debugging (with the 'debug' command) then see what the
client is actually sending to the server.  In this case, you'll see the
command 'TYPE I' being sent.  But curl sends that by default, anyway, so
this is a null exercise.  What you you trying to accomplish with this
command?
