path from the root directory on the server. To specify a path relative to
the user's home directory on the server, prepend ~/ to the path portion.
If the user name is not embedded in the URL, it can be set with the
\fICURLOPT_USERPWD\fP or \fBCURLOPT_USERNAME\fP option.

directory. If the file part is omitted then libcurl downloads the directory
