Have you tried the command:

man sftp

Here is what it says about the put command within sftp:

     put [-Ppr] local-path [remote-path]
             Upload local-path and store it on the remote machine.  If the
             remote path name is not specified, it is given the same name it
             has on the local machine.  local-path may contain glob(3) charac‐
             ters and may match multiple files.  If it does and remote-path is
             specified, then remote-path must specify a directory.

             If ether the -P or -p flag is specified, then full file permis‐
             sions and access times are copied too.

             If the -r flag is specified then directories will be copied
             recursively.  Note that sftp does not follow symbolic links when
             performing recursive transfers.
