I see. Would it be acceptable to have the commands to upload the file in a
here document, as in:

sftp user at 1.2.3.4 << ALL_DONE
I_cant_believe_you're_still_using_passwords!
lcd my_local_directory
cd /remote_directory/
put myfile their_file
bye
ALL_DONE

?

I'm assuming this also causes some issues for your environment, but to be
honest, I can't think of an sftp client which can do what you require...
mind you, I've only really spent any time with sftp as I've never had to
work under the restrictions you have.
