There is no native support for sftp on Windows Server 2008. There is native support for ftps, i.e. ftp over ssl. You have to install third party app.

Assuming sftp is available, it's usually a LOT easier to use scp, which is also normally available with sftp.

Instead of using sftp and trying to parse textual outputs to determine success, just use scp like you'd use cp or copy and check the return value.
