CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE(3)

CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE - private key file for SSH auth

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE,
                          char *filename);

Pass a char * pointing to a filename for your private key. If not used, libcurl defaults to $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa if the HOME environment variable is set, and just "id_dsa" in the current directory if HOME is not set.

If the file is password-protected, set the password with CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD(3).

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

As explained above

SFTP and SCP

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "sftp://example.com/file");
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE,
                   "/home/clarkkent/.ssh/id_rsa");
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "password");
  ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
