Hi Daniel,

I tried yesterday snapshot (libcurl 7.17.2-20071127) for a short test for protocols ftp, sftp and scp for uploading.
Ftp and sftp work fine, but I have a question on scp, sometimes the connection is reused and sometimes not, see below ...

I changed machine name, IP and key filename to some fake numbers

Cool and thanks!

Yes sure, but I hope that there's at least one or two other guys who'll use the CVS version before the next release. Or else we'll just have to trust that our tests cover enough and I am certain that people will tell us when the next release gets out if they were incomplete! ;-)
