.SH NAME
CURLOPT_SSH_AUTH_TYPES \- auth types for SFTP and SCP
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSH_AUTH_TYPES, long bitmask);
.fi
.SH 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 \fICURLSSH_AUTH_ANY\fP 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.

CURLSSH_AUTH_ANY (all available)
.SH PROTOCOLS
This functionality affects scp and sftp

int main(void)

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSH_AUTH_TYPES,
