NAME¶
CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE - set private key file for SSH auth
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE,
char *filename);
DESCRIPTION¶
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.
DEFAULT¶
As explained above
PROTOCOLS¶
SFTP and SCP
EXAMPLE¶

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); }
