Issue SFTP Backup Extension - cURL error (1): Protocol "sftp" not supported or disabled in libcurl

[---Luke---]

When trying to set up a remote storage sftp connection (through the sftp backup extension) I get the follwoing error: cURL error (1): Protocol "sftp" not supported or disabled in libcurl

When I check my terminal
# curl -V
sftp is not listed as supportet protocol.

What do I have to do to make sftp available?

Thank you for all your efforts!

Best wishes

Curl is the package from your OS vendor but not from Plesk. So, make sure that you have curl version with sftp support. For example, on my Plesk server installed on CentOS7 I see:
