sftp> mput ALL_DWH_v1.1.tar /wload/lscp/home/lscpxx3
Uploading ALL_DWH_v1.1.tar to /wload/lscp/home/lscpxx3/ALL_DWH_v1.1.tar
ALL_DWH_v1.1.tar 100% 2130KB 152.1KB/s 00:14

Now Connect to the other server:
/wload/wzad/home/albatuat>sftp lscpxx3@35.101.11.50
Connecting to 35.101.11.50...
sftp> mget /wload/lscp/home/lscpxx3/ALL_DWH_v1.1.tar /wload/wzad/app/subwload/ALL_DWH
Fetching /wload/lscp/home/lscpxx3/ALL_DWH_v1.1.tar to /wload/wzad/app/subwload/ALL_DWH/ALL_DWH_v1.1.tar
/wload/lscp/home/lscpxx3/ALL_DWH_v1.1.tar 100% 2130KB 142.0KB/s 00:15
