Dude, I had the same issue last week! libcurl specify path stuff can be confusing at first.
You *have* to open the file manually. The string path alone won’t cut it. Also, don’t forget to close the file after the transfer!
For Windows paths, libcurl is pretty flexible—it’ll handle `/` or `\`, but if you’re building paths dynamically, maybe use `#ifdef _WIN32` to handle the slashes correctly.
Pro tip: Use `curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1L)` to debug if the file isn’t being read/written.
