Thanks for the info. Looking forward to it. :) Just for clarity, could you elaborate on what you said earlier: > The regular requests for SFTP support are noted and SFTP support is on our > internal list of feature requests -- indeed, I was recently discussing it > with Mark Waddingham.

If a libCurl wrapper using LCB is in development, wouldn't the above be a non-issue? That is, adding SFTP (or any other libCurl-supported protocol) shouldn't need to involve writing and testing a lot of new, security-critical code, since libCurl has already taken care of that? Or am I missing something?
