title: sftp sleep between put commands
body: <p>Is there a way to execute <code>sftp</code> with the <code>-c</code> command and in the text file specify an equivalent of <code>sleep</code> command to wait between two <code>put</code> commands?</p>
  <p>I have a batch file that will sftp and execute a few <code>put</code> commands. I want the process to wait for 5 min after executing a few <code>put</code> commands.</p>
  <pre><code>sftp -b commands.txt ..
  </code></pre>
  <p>and in <code>commands.txt</code> I want:</p>
  <pre><code>put abc.txt
  wait 5 mins
  put xyz.txt
  </code></pre>
  <p>Worst case I could split it in my batch file into two txt files, but was wondering if there was an easier way so I don't have an extra file to maintain. Went through the <code>sftp</code> man pages didn't find anything that does that.</p>
