hi all.

I tried this first: (download with curl via FTP)
[wweng@Monet tmp]$ curl -v -u wweng:mypass ftp://192.168.1.162/test.jpg
> test.jpg
* About to connect() to 192.168.1.162 port 21 (#0)

so far so good. Ok, then I tried the same command but instead of FTP, I
used SFTP.

[wweng@Monet tmp]$ curl -v -u wweng:mypass sftp://192.168.1.162/test.jpg
> test.jpg

curl: (78) Could not open remote file for reading: No such file or directory

Can someone enlighten me why I have this error with SFTP but not FTP?
(From what I have read, they are very similar protocols in behaviors)

Thanks
