Well, SFTP is a very different client to FTP. I don't think that SFTP will accept in-stream commands (well, that's what MVS used to call them) You will need to use the batch mode of SFTP.

my-stuff.sftpb
Code:
cd /remotepath/
lcd /localpath/
mget myfiles*.csv
bye

Script
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting to sftp..."
sftp -b my-stuff.sftpb admin@myip
if [ $? -eq 0] 
then
   print "Sftp successfully.\n\nprogram ended\n"
else
   print "Sftp error.\n\nprogram abended\n"
fi

Of course, this is wholly automated, so you cannot pause for passphrase entry or anything. The server fingerprint must already be in known_hosts, but you've probably tried a manual SFTP or SSH which will establish that for you anyway.



I hope that this helps.

sftp-server(1M)                                           System Administration Commands                                           sftp-server(1M)

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.

FILES

       /usr/lib/sftp-server
