[olug] sftp using cURL

[Adam Lassek]

Can you install software on the target server? Another way of doing this is
to setup an ftp server on the target that only accepts connections from
localhost, and create an ssh tunnel. You can use key-based authentication to
eliminate the password prompt. This way you can use anything that supports
standard ftp to upload the files. Rsync might even work better than ftp.
