Re: What Am I Doing Wrong With cURL and SFTP?

I have one more question about this.

If I use sftp all by itself, it seems to default to my home directory:

pi_at_raspsky:~/webcam $ sftp mgnewman_at_ftp.myhost.com
Connected to mgnewman_at_ftp.myhost.com.
sftp> pwd
Remote working directory: /home3/mgnewman

But, if I use curl with sftp, I have to tell it to go to my home directory:

curl -u mgnewman: --pubkey ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub sftp://ftp.myhost.com/~/

Why the difference?
