CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC,

{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USE_SSL, CURLUSESSL_CONTROL);
    /* go back to clea-text FTP after authenticating */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC, CURLFTPSSL_CCC_ACTIVE);
    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
