Bug
This works in a while loop.

So my question is that if there are 10 files, it logs into the remote server 10 times.

So can the looping be made such that it connects to the server by SFTP ONCE and then loops 10 times??

I tried putting while loop after sftp command and it does not work.
Code:
   i=0
   sftp $USER_ID@$REMOTE_SERVER  <<-EOF      
   cd ${DIR}

     i=0
     while [[ $i < ${#MYARRAY[@]} ]]
     do
       echo "Value of i:"  ${i}
       echo "File Name $i :"  ${MYARRAY[$i]}
       put ${FILE_DIR}${MYARRAY[$i]}
       export i=`expr $i + 1 `
       echo "Value of i:"  ${i}
     done
     quit
   EOF

FOLLOWING WORKS FINE.
Code:
while [ -n "${A_FILE[$i]}" ]
do
   sftp -o IdentityFile=${KEYFILE} ${FTPUSER}@${FTPSERVER} <<-EOF
      put ${A_FILE[$i]}
      quit
   #
   # The EOF must be TABbed over.  It can not be spaces.
   # 
   EOF
   (( i = i + 1 ))
done

NAME

       sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

DESCRIPTION

       sftp-server implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Protocol as defined in the IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer.

       sftp-server is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be run directly. There are no options or config settings.

       To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

       Subsystem   sftp     /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

       See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file.

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

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0        Successful completion.

       >0       An error occurred.
