Hi all

I'm a bit of a newbie. I'm trying to implement SCP using libcurl. I followed
the relatively idiot-proof instructions provided here:
http://www.gtkforums.com/about4193.html

I got it to compile and run. However when it got to the call to
curl_easy_perform(), it failed giving this error message:
* Protocol scp not supported or disabled in libcurl
* Unsupported protocol

I found someone who has experienced a similar problem here:
https://www.blastwave.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=253. The answerer
advised him to go to a newer version of Curl. That might be the solution for
me too.

I used curl_version_info() and gleaned the following info about my Curl
library:

Curl Version: 7.19.3
Curl Protocols:
        tftp
        ftp
        telnet
        dict
        ldap
        http
        file
        https
        ftps

So is it simply a matter of moving to a newer version of Curl and then I'll
be good to go? Could people not use SFTP and SCP before version 7.19.4?
