.SH NAME
CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM \- offset to resume transfer from
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM, long from);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long as parameter. It contains the offset in number of bytes that you
want the transfer to start from. Set this option to 0 to make the transfer
start from the beginning (effectively disabling resume). For FTP, set this
option to \-1 to make the transfer start from the end of the target file
(useful to continue an interrupted upload).

When doing uploads with FTP, the resume position is where in the local/source
file libcurl should try to resume the upload from and it then appends the
source file to the remote target file.

If you need to resume a transfer beyond the 2GB limit, use
\fICURLOPT_RESUME_FROM_LARGE(3)\fP instead.
.SH DEFAULT
0, not used
.SH PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects all supported protocols
