Not sure what you mean by test case using the backend. But I compiled version 7.63.0 and it looks like it works find. Though I just used git- ftp to upload via sftp, but that worked smooth. Here is what I did to install it with ubuntu 18.04. I had to compile debhelper too. git clone https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debhelper cd debhelper/ sudo apt-get install build-essential po4a dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us cd .. sudo apt-get install dwz sudo dpkg -i debhelper_12ubuntu1_all.deb git clone https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curl cd curl/ sudo apt-get install build-essential libssh-dev dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot -us -uc cd .. sudo dpkg -i libcurl*.deb sudo dpkg -i curl*.deb Here the versions output: # curl --version curl 7.63.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.63.0 OpenSSL/1.1.0g zlib/1.2.11 libidn2/2.0.4 libpsl/0.19.1 (+libidn2/2.0.4) libssh/0.7.0/openssl/zlib nghttp2/1.30.0 librtmp/2.3 Release-Date: 2018-12-12 Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtmp rtsp scp sftp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp Features: AsynchDNS IDN IPv6 Largefile GSS-API Kerberos SPNEGO NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz TLS-SRP HTTP2 UnixSockets HTTPS-proxy PSL -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311029 Title: curl and pycurl is not compiled with sftp support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curl/+bug/311029/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
