Drive mapping may not be necessary if following is possible using libCurl.
May not be necessary for what? I'm not sure anymore that I even understand what you mean with drive mapping.
How is "following" not possibly with libcurl? What is "following" in a file transfer context to you then?
I have three folder structures on NT/QNX machines where files sit that I want to download to Windows 7 machine. Two folder structures are for windows NT machines and one is for QNX machine. That's the reason I do dive mapping and then start downloading the files from the drive which maps successfully.
Uh, why not just have your client download from the dir that it should download from?
Another way of downloading file is to determine whether certain folder structrure exists or not.
It is pretty hard to download from a folder structure that _doesn't_ exist, so you can be fairly sure it actually exists if you manage to download anything from it... (yes, I realize I miss some point again)
Is there a method in libCurl that tells whether a particualr folder exists or not. If the response is True, I'll then do SFTP to download files.
Yes, you can for example request a directory listing of it over SFTP and if it works you know its there. You can set CURLOPT_NOBODY to 1 and get a file to check if it exists, but I'm not sure what happens if you try that on a directory over SFTP.
