It was because cd / in ftp leads to different folder than cd / in sftp.

after doing cd / in sftp it couldn't find files.

Cause maybe helpful for other people experiencing same error uploading with sftp instead of ftp... I'll leave the post.

SFTP -> Status code: 2, Message: 259, Server: No such file..

I can connect using ftp an sftp. I can upload with ftp, but uploading using sftp gives error. First I'll give you ftp upload log and afterwards sftp upload log containing error. What do I need to change to be able to upload using sftp?

This is my upload script 
echo on

option batch on

option confirm off

open ftp://username:password@hostname

cd /files/sql

option transfer binary

put -delete c:\backup\files\sql\*.*

close

exit
