I am trying to use cURL with ssh2 for sftp sessions; every time I try to
execute the program I seem to get the error

 curl: (2) Failure initialising sftp session

here is what I have for cURL on my Solaris 9 server.

curl 7.17.0 (sparc-sun-solaris2.9) libcurl/7.17.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8e
zlib/1.2.3 libssh2/0.17

Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap http file https ftps scp sftp

Features: IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz

The command and command line options that I use are as follow:

curl -sS -n -m 7 --disable-epsv --user userXXX:123456 --key
/export/home/user/.ssh/sftpkey sftp://10.20.30.40:12345 -T test_me
--trace trace

and below is the trace file:

== Info: About to connect() to 10.20.30.40 port 12345 (#0)

== Info: Trying 10.20.30.40... == Info: connected

== Info: Connected to 10.20.30.40 (10.20.30.40) port 123456 (#0)

== Info: Using ssh private key file /export/home/curltest/.ssh/key

== Info: Authentication complete

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
