After some tries, I've got it working:

==============================================
Althought it is working, there are some problems.

1. It won't work when the path to the file is written as "~/scan/test.txt".
2. Why the root directory of the sftp server is listed? In my quoted command, there isn't anything related to "ls".

3. It won't work when I want to remove a folder:
==============================================
qxu@durian(pts/1):~/opensrc/curl-7.19.6/src[126]$ ./curl -v -u qxu:fair123 sftp://13.198.98.190/ -Q "rm -rf /home/qxu/scan/DOC.XSM"
* About to connect() to 13.198.98.190 port 22 (#0)
* Trying 13.198.98.190... connected
* Connected to 13.198.98.190 (13.198.98.190) port 22 (#0)
...
* Initialized password authentication

* rm command failed: No such file or directory
* Connection #0 to host 13.198.98.190 left intact
curl: (21) rm command failed: No such file or directory
* Closing connection #0
==============================================
I can confirm the folder /home/qxu/scan/DOC.XSM does exist. Can't I use "rm -rf" to remove a folder? What else shall I use?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Xu Qiang
