creating a file on remote directory using sftp

Hi,

My requirement is to sftp a file from one server to another.After the file is completely transferrred, i should be able to create a text(dummy) file on the remote directory. How could this be accomplished. Any suggestions?

The only way I'm aware of, to accomplish that end, is escape to the local shell:
"! touch dummy.txt"

then "put dummy.txt".
