[Bug 1197808] Re: SFTP Support ! Still nothing ?

[linuxwrangler]

This has been broken for years. In this thread they kicked it up to Debian and marked it closed.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curl/+bug/311029

But apparently Debian's response was unseen or ignored:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=587735

"This is an Ubuntu-only bug. Closing."

I would love to have the distributed package of curl support *all*
protocols supported by the curl project including SFTP.

Title:
  SFTP Support ! Still nothing ?

Status in “curl” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I don't understand why I can't use on a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04 some tools relying on curl with SFTP support. I have to recompile curl myself and it cause tons of errors when I run apt-get upgrade. It would be nice to have the possibility to enable it easily. 
  It's around 1+ hour to compile everything.
