Sorry, let me clarify. Yes, that return code was from client's sftp server, and we never got that error again (wrong return code). The 79 is from my sending files to a test sftp server set up using Cygwin. I intentionally have a folder where I have permission and a folder where I have no permission. Now I have set up the test sftp server a while back. So while I know which folder I didn't have permission to access, for some reason I couldn't change that permission using chmod 777.

So really there are two issues:

1) What does 79 mean, as the explanation from http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html is too vague.
2) Why can't I change the permission of that folder and see if the uploading works, which probably isn't curl specific.
