This has been broken for years. In this thread they kicked it up to Debian and marked it closed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curl/+bug/311029
But apparently Debian's response was unseen or ignored: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=587735 "This is an Ubuntu-only bug. Closing." I would love to have the distributed package of curl support *all* protocols supported by the curl project including SFTP. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #587735 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=587735 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1197808 Title: SFTP Support !
