The ls command is run on the local machine, not the remote machine.
You could find the name of the most recent file in a first call to lftp. You can write the output into a temporary file, grep the filename out and then call lftp a second time to actually transfer the file.
But it doubles the work... if not wrong...I had the below ftp code and expected the same can be done to the sftp also.. In case you are right.. but Is there any other way(jst like below ftp code)
The here document is completely prepared, before "lftp" is started. So it cannot react on lftp's output.
Another hint would be to try "expect". It is a tool to interact with programs and react on their outputs, often used to control telnet/ssh/ftp/...-sessions.

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 sftp is allowed will that block ftp ? and if so where is this set ?
I thought there is no relationship, is that right ?
If so look here:
inetadm | grep ftp
