Sometimes people think #curl is a simple little HTTP tool, while in reality there's a whole internet transfer machine in there supporting 28 protocols.
I thought rsync/scp was good enough for SSH file transfers. Is the reason to include SSH in curl convenient of using a single utility for all file transfers?
@vmiheer it was added to libcurl almost twenty years ago, to offer easy sftp and scp transfers in addition to ftp(s) for an application, yes. Actually paid for by Adobe.
With my own humble ways of running c-driven network code (years ago) I know how much research this must be to make it really work on so many protocols, so many settings, so many options etc. Really strong stuff. I hope people tell that often enough to you and your contributors.

Good god.
