This has been broken for years. In this thread they kicked it up to Debian and marked it closed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curl/+bug/311029
But apparently Debian's response was unseen or ignored: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=587735 "This is an Ubuntu-only bug. Closing." I would love to have the distributed package of curl support *all* protocols supported by the curl project including SFTP. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #587735 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=587735 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to curl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1197808 Title: SFTP Support ! Still nothing ? Status in “curl” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, I don't understand why I can't use on a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04 some tools relying on curl with SFTP support. I have to recompile curl myself and it cause tons of errors when I run apt-get upgrade. It would be nice to have the possibility to enable it easily. It's around 1+ hour to compile everything.
