I am confused too.

Just a guess...might be a wild goose chase...
for the user account you are trying to sftp to, could you save your bash
startup files on the server machine and set up the default bash startup
files?

My memory is vague, or it might be my imagination, but I seem to
remember having a problem, a very long time ago, about having things in
my bash startup files that were interfering with my ability to do things
through ssh.  Whatever problem I had may no longer be a problem.

I finally fixed my problem by stopping my .bashrc file from doing
certain things if not interactive.

I came to the conclusion my problem had something to do with things in
my .bashrc file intercepting input from the standard input and creating
unexpected output on standard output.

I still try to separate my bash startup files into stuff I always want
to do and stuff I only want to do when interactive.

I still put the following line in an appropriate place in my .bashrc
file to stop doing certain things when I am not interactive:

# check for shell is not interactive
    [ -z "${PS1}" ] && return

It's just a guess...but it would be quick and easy to test.
