[olug] sftp using cURL

[Aric Aasgaard]

You should be able to pipe a cURL to and an SCP command.  SFTP is SSL
tunneled ftp right?  SCP uses SSH.  SFTP is not as friendly from my
experience.

Subject: [olug] sftp using cURL

i'm trying to push a file to an sftp server using curl. i keep getting a
"(1) protocol not supported or disabled in libcurl" error, but the cURL
website states....

"curl is a command line tool for transferring files with URL syntax,
supporting FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, *SFTP*, TFTP, TELNET, DICT, FILE and
LDAP"

...so i'm fairly sure it supports the protocol.


my version is 7.18 (installed automatically through ubuntu 8.04 update
manager), but the website states....

*"The most recent stable version of curl is version 7.17.0"

*...so that may be an issue. seems weird that ubuntu would automatically
update me to a development version.


after browsing the website, i've hit a wall. i was hoping someone out there
on olug would have some knowledge to share. any help would be greatly
appreciated.
