sftp has its own batch file facility. From the sftp man page:
-b batchfile
Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input
batchfile instead of stdin. Since it lacks user
interaction it should be used in conjunction with
non-interactive authentication. sftp will abort if any
of the following commands fail: get, put, rename, ln,
rm, mkdir, chdir, ls, lchdir, chmod, chown, chgrp, lpwd
and lmkdir. Termination on error can be suppressed on a
command by command basis by prefixing the command with a
`-' character (for example, -rm /tmp/blah*).
