        echo "cd $i_destdir">>/tmp/sftp_Batch
        echo "put $i_filename">>/tmp/sftp_Batch
        echo "chmod 644 $i_destdir/$i_filename">>/tmp/sftp_Batch
        echo "quit">>/tmp/sftp_Batch
        sftp -b /tmp/sftp_Batch ${i_userid}@${i_host} > /tmp/sftp_Log

The problem is that i am getting return code as 1 even though the transfer is successful. The above logic is in a loop and this is not happening for every file.
If I remember right, you can prefix any of the commands in a batch file with "-", for example "-chmod 644 $idestdir/$i_filename" to prevent "exit on error", which I think is what's going on here. Quite possibly, the file is successfully transferred, but the chmod is failing.

You might, as Corona688 suggests, change that last line to:
Code:
sftp -b /tmp/sftp_Batch ${i_userid}@${i_host} 2>&1 >>/tmp/sftp_Log

to both redirect standard output and stderr to the logfile, and also not overwrite the log file with each iteration of your loop.

MKTEMP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 MKTEMP(1)

NAME
mktemp -- make temporary file name (unique) SYNOPSIS
mktemp [-d] [-q] [-u] template DESCRIPTION
The mktemp utility takes the given file name template and overwrites a portion of it to create a file name. This file name is unique and suitable for use by the application. The template may be any file name with at least 6 of 'Xs' appended to it, for example /tmp/temp.XXXXXX. The trailing 'Xs' are replaced with the current process number and/or a unique letter combination. The number of unique file names mktemp can return depends on the number of 'Xs' provided; six 'Xs' will result in mktemp testing roughly 26 ** 6 combinations. If mktemp can successfully generate a unique file name, the file is created with mode 0600 (unless the -u flag is given) and the filename is printed to standard output. OPTIONS
The available options are as follows: -d Make a directory instead of a file. -q Fail silently if an error occurs. This is useful if a script does not want error output to go to standard error. -u Operate in ``unsafe'' mode. The temp file will be unlinked before mktemp exits. This is slightly better than mktemp(3) but still introduces a race condition. Use of this option is not encouraged. RETURN VALUES
The mktemp utility exits with a value of 0 on success, and 1 on failure. EXAMPLES
The following sh(1) fragment illustrates a simple use of mktemp where the script should quit if it cannot get a safe temporary file. TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/$0.XXXXXX` || exit 1 echo "program output" >> $TMPFILE In this case, we want the script to catch the error itself. TMPFILE=`mktemp -q /tmp/$0.XXXXXX` if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "$0: Can't create temp file, exiting..." exit 1 fi Note that one can also check to see that $TMPFILE is zero length instead of checking $?. This would allow the check to be done later one in the script (since $? would get clobbered by the next shell command). SEE ALSO
mkstemp(3), mktemp(3) HISTORY
The mktemp utility appeared in OpenBSD. BSD
November, 20, 1996 BSD
