Hi William,

The SFTP protocol is a different protocol from FTP -
it's not just a matter of opening a secure socket
connection.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol>

While this might be an interesting project if you want
to learn more about socket communication, it might be
better to file a feature request in Bugzilla, so
LibURL guru Dave Cragg can build it for you ;-)
