I think you meant 7.20.1.

That's because the long versions of the options use two dashes, not one:
--userpwd and --url. If you use the short version of the options you use one
dash: -u (--url has no short version, but you don't need to use "--url" when
the URL is given on the commandline)

The binary you got/built wasn't built to support SFTP!

Your mail actually reminded me about a package I got from a Dr. P. Voigt, and
it'd be fun to get some feedback on this:

http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.20.0_mingw32_libcurl_openssl-0.9.8n_zlib-1.2.3_libssh2-1.2.4_libidn-1.8_dynamic_pvoigt.zip

It isn't yet available from the download page.
