<title>Introduction to cURL</title>
<para>The <application>cURL</application> package contains
<command>curl</command> and its support library
<filename class="libraryfile">libcurl</filename>. 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.</para>
