If you're asking for a working example of a solution to your problem that is
tested and working, then your best bet is to hire someone to create one for
you. Open Source software includes documentation and examples so that
programmers can create such examples on their own. It's not possible to scale
free support to everybody who might use the free software otherwise.

The documentation describes how to do this. In this case, you're probably
looking for CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE in the libcurl C binding. But, further
questions on curl should be sent to either the libcurl mailing list or the
appropriate PHP cURL support forum, as appropriate.

It's a pretty big demand to ask people to write your code for free. There are
many examples of use of sftp in libssh2 and libcurl available to you with a
search and lots of documentation to help you customize them for your exact
purposes. Try getting one of the example programs working in a simplified case
then only then alter it. If the documentation is inadequate or wrong, then
we'd be interested in hearing how to improve it.
