Then you're using the wrong mailing list. This list is for the curl tool. You
might want to use the curl-library list instead!

Sounds like a good idea. And to do this the best possible way, you're actually
even better off building one of the libssh2 example codes and thus use a plain
libssh2 app to see how that behaves as it will help determine if libcurl is
doing something wrong or if libssh2 itself is the culprit.

libcurl uses libssh2 for SFTP. libssh2 speaks SFTP protocol version 3 so it
cares very little about v6. In SFTP the client tells the server what protocol
to use and then they move on speaking that version. Perhaps the situation is
the opposite so that WinSSHD has broken their v3 support?

And again, this isn't really curl-users material...
