Without knowing what $quote_site_cmd actually is, I cannot say what you should replace it with. It's possible there is no drop-in replacement -- sftp doesn't do a lot of the odd inter-mainframe translation things ftp used to. On the other hand, these things are generally unnecessary now. (But may be relevant if dealing with old mainframes.)

There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd. EXIT STATUS
