I can't speak for the curl command line program, but is "libcurl" part of
the curl cli package, or is it separate? It could be that you need to get a
recompiled version of libcurl that supports sftp.

This link mentions that sftp is lacking due to some concern over package
dependencies:

You might want to download the curl source and try building it...or work
with Ubuntu development to resolve the issues.  :-)  (yeah, the first option
is much easier...)

You could also try installing the curl.haxx.se pre-compiled version which
says it has SSL:

(BTW, curl is at 7.19.4 as reported on this URL: http://curl.haxx.se/)
