like regular FTP.
sftp - or rather ssh itself - DOES issue acknowledgement packets that tell you the state of the operation. The sftp client will be checking these and then sticking a text response out there for the user. The problem with the approach of parsing text responses issued by someone else's sftp client is that you're vulnerable to changes made to replies that are meant for humans. The best way of course is to have an sftp client that you can directly interact with but of course I would say that - we have one.
