Hi, johnsnow.
By override, I assume what is meant is over-write -- in other words, destroying an existing file with an incoming file from sftp.
I haven't verified that that is the actual behavior, but I saw an option, -a, that may avoid such destruction, but it looks to be intended to be used for resume.
One alternative is rsync. I think that allows far more control over what may get deleted, destroyed, etc. As usual, before putting it into production, reading the man page and experimenting are the best path to success.
Good luck ... cheers, drl

I am not very familiar with the use of FTP, and trying to run it I found out that standard "ftp" is not working" but "sftp" is.

If so look here:
