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.

PROTOCOLS

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "sftp://example.com/file");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSH_AUTH_TYPES,
                          CURLSSH_AUTH_PUBLICKEY | CURLSSH_AUTH_KEYBOARD);
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
