This is useful for transferring files with URL syntax to any of the following protocols: FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, TELNET, DICT, LDAP, LDAPS and FILE. This ability to both download and upload files can be incorporated into other programs to support functions like streaming media. &lfs65_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &curl-md5sum; Download size: &curl-size; Estimated disk space required: &curl-buildsize; Estimated build time: &curl-time; cURL Dependencies Optional or , , , or , libssh2 (for secure transfers), krb4, SPNEGO, and c-ares Optional for Running the Test Suite (for the HTTPS and FTPS tests) User Notes: Install cURL by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make To test the results, issue: make check.
