On my windows xp machine, I can connect to a remote host via putty and psftp. However I fail to establish a connection with curl. When I enter
curl -v --key priv_key.ppk --pubkey pub_key.pub sftp://user@domain.com/~
I get
* SSH authentication methods available: publickey,password
* Using ssh public key file pub_key.pub
* Using ssh private key file priv_key.ppk
* SSH public key authentication failed: Unable to open public key file
I did use the export feature of puttygen to generate a curl comliant private key file, but I do not know how to provide a working public key file. Any hints?

Open your private key with putty key gen. The public key is displayed in the dialog box. You can select the displayed key, and copy/paste it into a text file. – Zoredache – 2013-07-25T22:42:40.960
Thanks, I did copy this into the authorized_keys file on the server and also into a local copy of the pubkey file that is passed to curl as an argument. I still get the same error message... – Karsten W. – 2013-07-25T22:58:15.037
