Both work fine when I use sftp, so that was unfortunately not the reason.

Right, this could be seen as more of a libssh2 issue and not really libcurl's.
But we (libcurl) want the library to work fine even on non-POSIX systems and
they might not have those defines. Of course we can offer local versions of
those defines for systems that don't have them, but I find it slightly weird.
I think I'll take this issue to the libssh2 list and see what people there
think.
