The app I am working on will require the ability to download large files (~ 2 meg) using SFTP. I know Legato supports libcurl, but does that support extend to SFTP? The WP76xx is simply being used as a “data mule” allowing connection to a remote server, handling the TCP overhead with the data being passed between the server and a local PIC32 which acts as a router/concentrator for custom devices. Thanks! ---

Please refer to previous topic: > [@Yocto, cURL and SFTP](http://forum.legato.io/t/yocto-curl-and-sftp/2734/4): > > So I got this working last week, and thought I would post a reply for the benefit of anyone else trying to get the same (or similar) working with Legato. I did this using a Linux virtual machine. I am using a MangOH green. 1. Download source. The Linux source that I downloaded is located at: [https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/legato/downloads/](https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/legato/downloads/) I downloaded the source file SWI9X15Y\_07.12.09.00 2. Modify curl recipe Browse to ./yocto/poky/meta/recipes-support/curl/curl\_7.37.1.bb A… Hope it helps. ---

nice write up however a curiousity has come to mind. will this allow recursive downloads ? or multiple files, or will it need to loop ? as in scp -r \* would work?
