You should consider increasing the verbosity of the sftp process using the -v or even the -vv option.

See for example:

sftp verbose output

Or the sftp man page......

Assuming Linux, for example, see also:

https://www.unix.com/man-page/linux/1/sftp/

and

https://www.unix.com/man-page/linux/1/ssh/

Code:
    -v      Verbose mode.  Causes ssh to print debugging messages about its progress.	This is helpful in debugging connection, authentication,
	     and configuration problems.  Multiple -v options increase the verbosity.  The maximum is 3.

As it says above, increasing logging verbosity is helpful when debugging connection, authentication and configuration problems.

installsieve

INSTALLSIEVE(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   INSTALLSIEVE(1)

NAME

       installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts

SYNOPSIS

       installsieve

DESCRIPTION

       installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server.

OPTIONS

       -v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output.

       -l  List  all  of  the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active
       script.

       -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services.

       -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten.  Upon  sucessfully
       putting	the  script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since
       sieve names may not contain a '.'.

       -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option..

       -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>.

       -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen.

       -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already  exists  it	is
       overwritten.

       -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user.
