If you (can) build your own curl from source, it would be fun to see if you can modify lib/ssh.c:ssh_getworkingpath() to use the SFTP approach even for SCP to check if that makes it work for you.

Please remember that the tilde character IS legitimate in (or as) a file name. I think, but can't prove, that the tilde convention for one's home directory is supposed to be supported only by shells. Quoting is pretty much expected to be painful in shells but it ought not to be in tools like curl.

It looks as though the original request was made while in the $HOME directory and the tilde got added in by curl or someone else, perhaps an error line formatter trying to be helpful.
