So you are using PuTTY to ssh to your IBM i to get a shell from which you can use sftp? I can understand that, though I've tested mine from qp2term just to get it working rather than starting the ssh server on my IBM i.
You need the -oUser=xxxxx before the hostname. The hostname is the last parameter passed to sftp.
I just tested mine here, and it worked. I don't have an @ in my username, but I do know the -oUser=xxx part is working for me.

Issue is to debug sftp. I am using PuTTY to connect to my i user profile, to have a functioning terminal. I log into my user profile just fine. But, issue is connecting to remote site using sftp and the user name provided.
Never occurred to be to try the option you suggest. My concern was whether a QSH script would have the same issue, thus the interactive login attempt. I would rather this be done with me needing to manually transfer data.
Just tried it from my Linux netbook. Instead of asking for the password associated with the value entered for User (a 12 digit number), the site used my Linux user id. Looks like the -oUser did not get passed.
sftp ftp.xxxx.com -oUser=166440000000@ssh
jmmckee@xxxxxxxxxxxx's password:
Again, my concern is what QSH will do. Guess the only option is to try it.

I'm confused. Are you trying to troubleshoot sftp or PuTTY?
In PuTTY: Click on Data under the Connection category; fill in auto-login username.
sftp: try `sftp -oUser=000000000000@ssh ftp.xxxxx.com`

To add to the puzzle:
From my Linux netbook, I entered this:sftp 000000000000\@ssh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
And, I received 000000000000@ssh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx's password:
So, it appears to be related to Putty.

hi John,
You say that the userid is 123450000000@ssh, and then you say you
only want it to request 123450000000's password. Then you say Putty
requests 'ssh' password.
I don't understand. Is 'ssh' part of the userid? Or isn't it? If
it's not, then what is it, and why are you providing it in the userid field?
sftp typically tries to use @ to separate the userid from the hostname.
So you'd have something like this:
sftp john@xxxxxxxxxxx
And that means it'd connect to example.com and sign in with userid john.

I am trying to connect to a company using sftp. They assigned me a
twelve digit user id, which is followed by @ssh. When I try to log
in, using PuTTY, I get a request for ssh's password.
If user id is 123450000000@ssh and site is ftp.xyz.com, how can I
get the remote system to request 123450000000's password? I have
tried both ' and ". Just tried \ in front of the nasty @. Locked
out, again.
