Put -r is not working in SFTP

Hi Folks,

I am trying to copy a directory along with sub-directories to SFTP server.

I have connected to SFTP and tried to run the below command:

Code:
sftp> get -r abc/*

It is throwing the error Invalid flag -r

Can you please let me know the ways to copy a directory from Local to SFTP

libssh2_sftp_close_handle(3)					  libssh2 manual				      libssh2_sftp_close_handle(3)

NAME
libssh2_sftp_close_handle - close filehandle SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h> #include <libssh2_sftp.h> int libssh2_sftp_close_handle(LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *handle); int libssh2_sftp_close(LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *handle); int libssh2_sftp_closedir(LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *handle); DESCRIPTION
handle - SFTP File Handle as returned by libssh2_sftp_open_ex(3) or libssh2_sftp_opendir(3) (which is a macro). Close an active LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE. Because files and directories share the same underlying storage mechanism these methods may be used interchangably. libssh2_sftp_close(3) and libssh2_sftp_closedir(3) are macros for libssh2_sftp_close_handle(3). RETURN VALUE
Return 0 on success or negative on failure. It returns LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it isn't really a failure per se. ERRORS
LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC - An internal memory allocation call failed. LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket. LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT - LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL - An invalid SFTP protocol response was received on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to be returned by the server. SEE ALSO
