I do not know of one. Then again, I have not looked at the libcurl
docs or google'd for one in a while.

When debugging ssh-related problems, I find that running sshd with
the -d flag gives a good idea of why a connection attempt is failing
(Or succeeding!). If you need more verbose output, give it another -
d. Running with 3 -d flags is not recommended unless you are running
under script(1) or logging the output via some other mechanism, as it
produces TONS of output.

This would validate that the sshd is sane. Give sshd the -d flag(s).
