Thanks Rudic.

Taking my earlier suggestion and converting it to use a file instead of a pipeline:
Code:
USER1=ftp
TARGETHOST1=XX.XX.XX.XX
printf '%s\n' 'lcd /Z02/apps/output/UAT/CMUP/incoming' \
	'cd apl/apl001/download' \
	'get UPLOAD.DAT' \
	'bye' > /tmp/tmp$$
sftp -oProxyCommand='/usr/bin/nc -v -X 5 -x proxy:99 %h %p' -oPort=22 ${USER1}@${TARGETHOST1} < /tmp/tmp$$
rm -f /tmp/tmp$$

which wastes system resources and runs slower than my earlier suggestion.

Converting it to use a here-document:
Code:
USER1=ftp
TARGETHOST1=XX.XX.XX.XX
sftp -oProxyCommand='/usr/bin/nc -v -X 5 -x proxy:99 %h %p' -oPort=22 ${USER1}@${TARGETHOST1} <<-"EOF"
	lcd /Z02/apps/output/UAT/CMUP/incoming
	cd apl/apl001/download
	get UPLOAD.DAT
	bye
EOF

which might be a little bit faster than my earlier suggestion. Since printf is a built-in utility in most shells, it won't make a lot of difference.

Hope this helps,
- Don
