SFTP is a binary protocol, FTP is a text protocol. So you can't really get a readable "transcript" of SFTP unless you print a human-readable description of what's going on. And glancing at the code, it looks like libcurl is doing this for a few commands but not all of them. If you'd like to implement this for more commands, be our guest. The code is in lib/ssh.c.
