Here are 2 possible solutions :
Either you copy the file in a TMP folder on the remote system and you move them in the final destination folder after the transfer via a remote command.
or you transfer all your files and at the end you sftp a flag file (e.g. tsf.ok). The script on the remote server should check the flag exists before processing the files.

I'm am looking for a cheap way to trigger a script when a new file is written in a specific directory. AIX 5.3. It is a production system, so no kernel patching (i.e. inotify).
