Hi,

So I have decided to go with FTPS which is supported by libcurl and
totally forget about SFTP since I read somewhere about the advantages of
FTPS over SFTP. Please provide me with some links for libcurl FTPS
options or maybe some examples of how to use FTPS.

Many Thanks

Eh, that's your call. I figure it should involve what server(s) you want
to access and what kind client you want to write...

Exactly.

I agree. I have been evaluating SSH libs recently and unfortunately I
haven't found any really good one. I hope this situation will change,
and I'm trying to gently push them in a good direction! ;-)

Thanks for these kind words!
