CURLOPT_SSH_AUTH_TYPES(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_SSH_AUTH_TYPES - auth types for SFTP and SCP

SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSH_AUTH_TYPES, long bitmask);

DESCRIPTION
Pass a long set to a bitmask consisting of one or more of CURLSSH_AUTH_PUBLICKEY, CURLSSH_AUTH_PASSWORD, CURLSSH_AUTH_HOST, CURLSSH_AUTH_KEYBOARD and CURLSSH_AUTH_AGENT. Set CURLSSH_AUTH_ANY to let libcurl pick a suitable one. Currently CURLSSH_AUTH_HOST has no effect. If CURLSSH_AUTH_AGENT is used, libcurl attempts to connect to ssh-agent or pageant and let the agent attempt the authentication.

DEFAULT
CURLSSH_AUTH_ANY (all available)

PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects scp and sftp

EXAMPLE
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSH_AUTH_TYPES,
                     CURLSSH_AUTH_PUBLICKEY | CURLSSH_AUTH_KEYBOARD);
