How to compile SFTP support in cURL?

[edvanleeuwen]

Default cURL is not compiled with the sftp protocol. Which arguments should I add to recompile with this support?

Please check http://andrewberls.com/blog/post/adding-sftp-support-to-curl. You can add custom curl compilation flag to /usr/local/directadmin/ custombuild/custom/curl/configure.curl and just run "./build curl" to build/compile it, but before that you need to get libssh2 installed manually.

Thanks, smtalk. Just for future reference:

Centos 7:
yum install libssh2 libssh2-devel

Add --with-libssh2 at the end of the command in configure.curl.

It would be good to have cURL compiled with SFTP by default. Security is a must these days!
