Does this always fail and does it always fail the same way with big files? How
big file is required?

The CURLE_SEND_ERROR you seem to have got isn't returned specificly from any

Yeah, but do note that SFTP is an attempt to make a standard protocol, but SCP
is just a copy over SSH which isn't likely to work on any non-unix system etc.
