Dropbox Extension Error Codes

The All-in-One WP Migration plugin communicates with your Dropbox account and stores your backups using the Dropbox API. You may receive one of these errors if there is an error communicating with your storage and the files stored there.
Dropbox assigns a per-user quota to each user to distribute resources fairly. You may experience problems if you have a large number of other applications or systems linked to your Dropbox account.

What can you do about it?

If the all-in-One WP Migration plugin is unable to connect to your Dropbox account, please sign out and sign back in in the Dropbox Settings page of the plugin on your WordPress Console.
Make sure no other apps are using your Dropbox at the same time as the All-in-One WP Migration extension. Consider stopping or uninstalling any third-party Dropbox applications or services. Consider an alternative to Dropbox if you share a large number of documents with others or the general public.

Please see the list of error codes below for more information:

Here is a complete list of cURL error codes:

CURLE_OK (0)
All fine. Proceed as usual.

CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL (1)
The URL you passed to libcurl used a protocol that this libcurl does not support. The support might be a compile-time option that you didn’t use, it can be a misspelled protocol string or just a protocol libcurl has no code for.

CURLE_FAILED_INIT (2)
Very early initialization code failed. This is likely to be an internal error or problem, or a resource problem where something fundamental couldn’t get done at init time.

CURLE_URL_MALFORMAT (3)
The URL was not properly formatted.

CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN (4)
A requested feature, protocol or option was not found built-in in this libcurl due to a build-time decision. This means that a feature or option was not enabled or explicitly disabled when libcurl was built and in order to get it to function you have to get a rebuilt libcurl.

CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY (5)
Couldn’t resolve proxy. Could not resolve the given proxy host.

CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST (6)
Couldn’t resolve host. Could not resolve the given remote host.

CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT (7)
Failed to connect() to host or proxy.

CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_SERVER_REPLY (8)
The server sent data libcurl couldn’t parse. This error code is used for more than just FTP and is aliased as CURLE_WEIRD_SERVER_REPLY since 7.51.0.

CURLE_REMOTE_ACCESS_DENIED (9)
We were denied access to the resource given in the URL. For FTP, this occurs while trying to change to the remote directory.

CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_FAILED (10)
While waiting for the server to connect back when an active FTP session is used, an error code was sent over the control connection or similar.

CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASS_REPLY (11)
After having sent the FTP password to the server, libcurl expects a proper reply. This error code indicates that an unexpected code was returned.

CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_TIMEOUT (12)
During an active FTP session, while waiting for the server to connect, the CURLOPT_ACCEPTTIMEOUT_MS (or the internal default) timeout expired.

CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASV_REPLY (13)
libcurl failed to get a sensible result back from the server as a response to either a PASV or a EPSV command. The server is flawed.

CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_227_FORMAT (14)
FTP servers return a 227-line as a response to a PASV command. If libcurl fails to parse that line, this return code passes back.

CURLE_FTP_CANT_GET_HOST (15)
An internal failure to lookup the host used for the new connection.

CURLE_HTTP2 (16)
A problem was detected in the HTTP2 framing layer. This is somewhat generic and can be one out of several problems, see the error buffer for details.

CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_SET_TYPE (17)
A problem was detected in the HTTP2 framing layer. This is somewhat generic and can be one out of several problems, see the error buffer for details.

CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE (18)
Received an error when trying to set the transfer mode to binary or ASCII.

CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE (19)
This was either a weird reply to a ‘RETR’ command or a zero byte transfer complete.

CURLE_QUOTE_ERROR (21)
When sending custom “QUOTE” commands to the remote server, one of the commands returned an error code that was 400 or higher (for FTP) or otherwise indicated unsuccessful completion of the command.

CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR (22)
This is returned if CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is set TRUE and the HTTP server returns an error code that is >= 400.

CURLE_WRITE_ERROR (23)
An error occurred when writing received data to a local file, or an error was returned to libcurl from a write callback.

CURLE_UPLOAD_FAILED (25)
Failed to start the upload. For FTP, the server typically denied the STOR command. The error buffer usually contains the server’s explanation for this.

CURLE_READ_ERROR (26)
There was a problem reading a local file or an error returned by the read callback.

CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY (27)
A memory allocation request failed. This is serious badness and things are severely screwed up if this ever occurs.

CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT (28)
Operation timeout. The specified time-out period was reached according to the conditions.

CURLE_FTP_PORT_FAILED (30)
The FTP PORT command returned an error. This mostly happens when you haven’t specified a good enough address for libcurl to use. See CURLOPT_FTPPORT.

CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_USE_REST (31)
he FTP REST command returned an error. This should never happen if the server is sane.

CURLE_RANGE_ERROR (33)
The server does not support or accept range requests.

CURLE_HTTP_POST_ERROR (34)
This is an odd error that mainly occurs due to internal confusion.

CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR (35)
A problem occurred somewhere in the SSL/TLS handshake. You really want the error buffer and read the message there as it pinpoints the problem slightly more. Could be certificates (file formats, paths, permissions), passwords, and others.

CURLE_BAD_DOWNLOAD_RESUME (36)
The download could not be resumed because the specified offset was out of the file boundary.

CURLE_FILE_COULDNT_READ_FILE (37)
A file is given with FILE:// couldn’t be opened. Most likely because the file path doesn’t identify an existing file. Did you check file permissions?

LDAP cannot bind. LDAP bind operation failed.

CURLE_LDAP_SEARCH_FAILED (39)
LDAP search failed.

CURLE_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND (41)
Function not found. Could not find a required zlib function.

CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK (42)
Aborted by callback. A callback returned “abort” to libcurl..

CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT (43)
Internal error. A function was called with a bad parameter.

CURLE_INTERFACE_FAILED (45)
Interface error. Could not use a specific outgoing interface. Set which interface to use for outgoing connections’ source IP address with CURLOPT_INTERFACE.

Too many redirects. When following redirects, libcurl hit the maximum amount. Set your limit with CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS.

CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION (48)
An option passed to libcurl is not recognized/known. Refer to the appropriate documentation. This is most likely a problem in the program that uses libcurl. The error buffer might contain more specific information about which exact option it concerns.

CURLE_TELNET_OPTION_SYNTAX (49)
A telnet option string was Illegally formatted.

CURLE_GOT_NOTHING (52)
