Hello all:

I am attempting to download a file to a Linux server via sftp using curl
(built from source) over a non-standard port and am not having any luck.

The following sftp session on the same server is successful:

% sftp -oPort=10022 username_at_xxx.yyy.com
Connecting to xxx.yyy.com...
Password Authentication
Password:
sftp>

The following is my attempt with curl:

% curl -u username:password sftp://xxx.yyy.com:10022/~/filename
curl: (2) Failure initializing sftp session: Unable to send SSH_FXP_INIT

The associated versions are:

% cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS (Slurm)
% curl --version
curl 7.19.4 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.4 OpenSSL/0.9.6b zlib/1.1.4
libssh2/0.17
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap http file https ftps scp sftp
Features: Largefile NTLM SSL libz

I don't know much about file transfer protocols, and this is my first
attempt at using curl. Did I miss option(s) in the curl command, some
deficiency in the supporting libraries, or something else?

Thanks... Maury
