Hi RudiC,
I tested with the passing of -v parameter to sftp but I do get a lot of debug information for ssh which is not really useful for me.
On the last lines I get some information about the transfer rate and file size but it it somehow different from the easy readable output of ftp

sftp -v :
Code:
....
a lot of debug info
.....
Transferred: sent 2960, received 2712 bytes, in 0.6 seconds
Bytes per second: sent 5001.1, received 4582.1

ftp:
Code:
1836 bytes sent in 0.001078 seconds (1663 Kbytes/s)

I also tested by enabling the progress meter of sftp but again on the final output log I do not get any transfer/size information.
Strange because when I execute manually the sftp commands from shell I do get the output info:

Code:
root/server:/>sftp user@$SERVER
Connected to SERVER
sftp> put dates.txt
Uploading dates.txt to /Home/dates.txt
dates.txt                                                                                100%   55     0.1KB/s   00:00    
sftp>

Meanwhile with the below script which I use I do not have this info on the logfile:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
DATEF=`date +%Y%m%d`
DATED=`date +%d%m%y`
LOCALDIR='/root'
REMOTEDIR='Upload'
FTPLOG=PutFile_test-$DATED.log
SERVER=192.168.9.9
NEWFILE=dates.txt

(
cd $LOCALDIR
sftp user@$SERVER <<EOF
progress
lcd $LOCALDIR
put $NEWFILE
bye
EOF
) 2>&1 |tee $LOGDIR/$FTPLOG

Regards,
Enid

sftp-server

SFTP-SERVER(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					    SFTP-SERVER(8)

NAME

     sftp-server -- SFTP server subsystem

SYNOPSIS

     sftp-server [-ehR] [-f log_facility] [-l log_level] [-u umask]

DESCRIPTION

     sftp-server is a program that speaks the server side of SFTP protocol to stdout and expects client requests from stdin.  sftp-server is not
     intended to be called directly, but from sshd(8) using the Subsystem option.

     Command-line flags to sftp-server should be specified in the Subsystem declaration.  See sshd_config(5) for more information.

     Valid options are:

     -e      Causes sftp-server to print logging information to stderr instead of syslog for debugging.

     -f log_facility
	     Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages from sftp-server.  The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH,
	     LOCAL0, LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7.  The default is AUTH.

     -h      Displays sftp-server usage information.

     -l log_level
	     Specifies which messages will be logged by sftp-server.  The possible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1,
	     DEBUG2, and DEBUG3.  INFO and VERBOSE log transactions that sftp-server performs on behalf of the client.	DEBUG and DEBUG1 are
	     equivalent.  DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debugging output.  The default is ERROR.

     -R      Places this instance of sftp-server into a read-only mode.  Attempts to open files for writing, as well as other operations that
	     change the state of the filesystem, will be denied.

     -u umask
	     Sets an explicit umask(2) to be applied to newly-created files and directories, instead of the user's default mask.

     For logging to work, sftp-server must be able to access /dev/log.	Use of sftp-server in a chroot configuration therefore requires that
     syslogd(8) establish a logging socket inside the chroot directory.

HISTORY

     sftp-server first appeared in OpenBSD 2.8.
