I know nothing, but adding "-v" (or "-vv", or
...) to an "sftp" command can enable some
potentially useful diagnostic messages.

You first. Some basic description of the
systems involved here might be nice to have.
And the relevant software on each.

uname -a
ssh -V

Any useful info at all?

Does your destination directory exist?
Is it writable?

Make sure that "/data/fulfill/batch/ftpin" exists as a directory (not a file). Make sure that it is writable by the user your logging into.

After you connect instead of doing a put just go to each directory on the tree and list everything.

By just iterating all the way down the to final destination and looking at all the permissions - you should see what's holding you up.

cd /data
ls -al
cd fulfill
ls -al
cd batch
ls -al
cd ftpin
ls -al

It sounds as though you can write to, but not read, in a directory. Run:

ls -ld /data /data/fulfill /data/fulfill/batch/ftpin

and check that each directory has read permission for the sftp user. Also check the ACL's, in case you have a someone being a little too smart.
