Firstly I would streamline the code a little. You open the file quite a few times. You can easily do this:-
Code:
{
   echo "First line"
   echo "Second line"
} > filename

If you are driving commands based on what is on a remove server, then you may have to break this into several sftp steps:-
  • Get list of files on remote server
  • Loop for each file
    • SFTP get the file
    • Confirm file okay
    • SFTP delete the file
    • Confirm delete okay (perhaps try to list the file with SFTP)
  • Report outcome of the overall job
Does thinking about breaking up your overall process with this logic help?

gesftpserver

gesftpserver(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   gesftpserver(8)

NAME

       gesftpserver - Green End SFTP Server

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/gesftpserver [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       gesftpserver implements the SFTP protocol.  It is normally run as an SSH subsystem but can be run in other contexts if necessary.

CONFIGURING OPENSSH

       By  default,  OpenSSH  will  use its native SFTP server in response to requests for the SFTP subsystem.	To use gesftpserver instead, add a
       suitable Subsystem command to sshd_config (and remove the existing one if present).  For example:

       Subsystem  sftp /usr/lib/gesftpserver

IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS

       gesftpserver supports up to version 6 of the SFTP protocol and the following extensions:

       newline
	      Reports the server's newline convention to the client.

       space-available
	      Equivalent to df(1).

       supported
	      v5 capability details

       supported2
	      v6 capability details

       text-seek
	      Used for resuming text file downloads.

       vendor-id
	      Reports server name and version to client.  gesftpserver reports a vendor of "Green End" and  a  server  name  of  "Green  End  SFTP
	      Server".

       versions
	      Lists available versions.

       version-select
	      Select version.

       posix-rename@openssh.org
	      Provides POSIX rename semantics even in pre-v5 SFTP.
