Sftp using batchfile - storing result local

I'm making an sftp-connection to a remote server. I want the result of an ls-command in a local file and the result of ls on another folder in another local file. Because everything has to go as fast a possible I wan't to do everyting in one connection.

The command I use is : psftp -v -batch -b batchfile.ftp @ACCOUNT@remoteserver

The batchfile.ftp contains the following :

Code:
lcd *local directory*
cd folder1
ls *.txt filename1.lst
cd ../folder2
ls *.txt filename2.lst
bye

running the command doesn't give any errors. The results are displayed in the terminalwindow. But the local files aren't build. I want to use these commands in a script and need the 2 files. Can anybody help? How can I create these files using 1 connection. (redirecting the output of the psft-command isn't a solution because I need 2 seperate files.)
