3.20 How to SFTP from my user's home directory?
Contrary to how FTP works, SFTP and SCP URLs specify the exact directory to
work with. It means that if you don't specify that you want the user's home
directory, you get the actual root directory.
To specify a file in your user's home directory, you need to use the correct
URL syntax which for sftp might look similar to:
curl -O -u user:password sftp://example.com/~/file.txt
and for SCP it is just a different protocol prefix:
curl -O -u user:password scp://example.com/~/file.txt
