The private key must go on the machine you're running 'sftp username@host' upon. The machine you're logging into, only gets the public key listed in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.
If you have it, the ideal way would be to just put the keys on the client machine, then 'ssh-copy-id username@host' to copy everything exactly as needed onto the server.
It's difficult to give exact, precise instructions since you didn't tell me what
kind of key files you were given when asked(dsa, rsa, other?), just repeated the vague nebulous 'files'... But see
passwordless logins with openssh and skip the key-generation steps to see what you need to do.

curlopt_quote
CURLOPT_QUOTE(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_QUOTE(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_QUOTE - (S)FTP commands to run before transfer
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_QUOTE, struct curl_slist *cmds);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a linked list of FTP or SFTP commands to pass to the server prior to your request. This will be done before any other
commands are issued (even before the CWD command for FTP). The linked list should be a fully valid list of 'struct curl_slist' structs
properly filled in with text strings. Use curl_slist_append(3) to append strings (commands) to the list, and clear the entire list after-
wards with curl_slist_free_all(3). Disable this operation again by setting a NULL to this option. When speaking to a FTP server, prefix the
command with an asterisk (*) to make libcurl continue even if the command fails as by default libcurl will stop at first failure.
The set of valid FTP commands depends on the server (see RFC959 for a list of mandatory commands).
The valid SFTP commands are:
chgrp group file
The chgrp command sets the group ID of the file named by the file operand to the group ID specified by the group operand. The
group operand is a decimal integer group ID.
chmod mode file
The chmod command modifies the file mode bits of the specified file. The mode operand is an octal integer mode number.
chown user file
The chown command sets the owner of the file named by the file operand to the user ID specified by the user operand. The user
operand is a decimal integer user ID.
ln source_file target_file
The ln and symlink commands create a symbolic link at the target_file location pointing to the source_file location.
mkdir directory_name
The mkdir command creates the directory named by the directory_name operand.
pwd The pwd command returns the absolute pathname of the current working directory.
rename source target
The rename command renames the file or directory named by the source operand to the destination path named by the target op-
erand.
rm file
The rm command removes the file specified by the file operand.
rmdir directory
The rmdir command removes the directory entry specified by the directory operand, provided it is empty.
statvfs file
The statvfs command returns statistics on the file system in which specified file resides. (Added in 7.49.0)
symlink source_file target_file
See ln.
