Curl custom path

[kornarakis]

Feature
I would like to recommend a new option / feature in git-ftp.
It could be nice if we had an option to pass the curl path. As an option or even better in config file.

My Scenario
I had some issues with sftp and curl in windows using git-ftp.
I was using windows 10 curl and I didn't want to mess around with the one that come with windows installation, also I couldn't set the a custom downloaded curl as the default via environment variables path.

Dirty / temp workaround
So, I download curl from the official website and I change the git-ftp file by adding an new variable
CURL_PATH="the_path_to_the_downloaded_curl_exe"
and then I replace all the curl commands in the file with my new variable ${CURL_PATH}.

I know that using linux / osx it's easy to configure curl as you want, but with Windows things are different.

I'm having the same problem on Windows. Since the latest Windows update git-ftp ignores my PATH variable and always uses the cURL version shipped with Windows. Because of this I get the 'SFTP not supported" error. It would be greatly appreciated if the cURL path will be made a variable.
