"But it ain't working" is NOT something that we can base an error analysis on.
From looking at your post, I'd suggest you supply the authentication credentials to the sftp command itself and remove them from the batch file.
And, I'm not sure sftp's rm will accept the -f option.
And, shouldn't FROM_DIR be expanded in the echo command?
And, make sure the * in the echo command is escaped, otherwise it could be expanded to fitting file names.
