I have installed curl-7.27.0 and it is working fine. However, when I run curl -V, I get:

curl 7.21.6 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.21.6 OpenSSL/1.0.0e zlib/1.2.3.4 libidn/1.22 librtmp/2.3

Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap pop3 pop3s rtmp rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp

Features: GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz

How do I enable SFTP protocol?

You have to compile curl with sftp support first.

Download and unpack the curl source. After that:



sudo apt-get install build-essential debhelper libssh2-1-dev

sudo apt-get source libcurl3

sudo apt-get build-dep libcurl3



cd curl-x.xx.x/debian



nano rules

find and replace "--without-libssh2" with "--with-libssh2"



cd ..



sudo dpkg-buildpackage



cd ..



sudo dpkg -i curl_xxxxx.deb

sudo dpkg -i libcurl3_xxxx.deb

sudo dpkg -i libcurl3-gnutls_xxxx.deb

Update the commands with the adequate versions, ofcourse. More info here.
