Exactly like libcurl works with any other protocol it supports: re-use the
easy handle and just set the new options for the next transfer and do another
curl_easy_perform().

(Can I just also add that sftp is nothing like FTP so your mentioning of FTP
up there is a bit odd-looking to me!)

If you re-use a handle that has an existing connection to the host already,
you will save the entire connection - handshake - authentication phase indeed.
