Thanks, but how can I decide which one to choose (FTPS or SFTP), my
decision should be based on what factors?

>libcurl does not support SFTP (yet).

I guess not until somebody attempts to implement it and integrate it
with the current libcurl. There are libraries for SFTP such as libssh
and libssh2 but unfortunately they lack documentation/examples/comments
and they are not as easy to use as libcurl. Libcurl makes it all so easy
plus it has one of the best DOCS/Tutorials compare to the other packages
that are out there, but too bad that it doesn't support SFTP.

Anyways thanks a lot

Correct.

Either way, as you set the option.

SFTP is a completely different protocol. They both transfer files and
they are both encrypted, but otherwise I don't think they share a lot.

libcurl does not support SFTP (yet).
