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 result;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "sftp://example.com/file");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSH_AUTH_TYPES,
                     CURLSSH_AUTH_PUBLICKEY | CURLSSH_AUTH_KEYBOARD);
    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

HISTORY
CURLSSH_AUTH_* macros became long types in 8.16.0, prior to this version a long cast was necessary when passed to curl_easy_setopt(3).

AVAILABILITY
Added in curl 7.16.1

RETURN VALUE
curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
