I'm not quite sure what you're talking about here... :( Are you trying to say that you can use the functions in the DLL but you can't actually call them because you can't access the header files? It's a little difficult to understand what you're asking, at least for me. As for the examples, yes, there are a decent variety to demonstrate usage of various features. The sample code is coded differently to demonstrate features and/or the right and wrong ways to do something.

I'm not familiar with the Visual Basic bindings, but generally if the function calls have changed, then there's not too much you can do about it other than wrap the current functionality into a form that you expect.

I'm afraid that I don't know how to compile SFTP functionality into a Windows DLL (though I know it's in the documentation), or how the Visual Basic bindings work. I'm more of a UNIX guy. However, if SFTP is necessary for security reasons I would consider either a) compiling a DLL yourself with these functions included or b) contacting the maintainer of the bindings and asking him to add this functionality into his binding. curl can certainly access SFTP servers so this certainly is not a problem with curl itself.
