libcurl makes use of libssh2 to provide scp / sftp functionality.
If you have build libcurl and curl then you can check what's supported with:
curl -V
this gives you an output like:
curl 7.16.4 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.16.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8e zlib/1.2.3 libssh2/0.15
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap http file https ftps scp sftp
Features: IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz

as you can see with the first line the libssh2 version is listed if used;
with the second line you see that scp / sftp is available.

HTH, Guenter.
