I have one sftp script which first moves all the .seq files to temp folder then uses mget command and then deletes them.. below is the sftp portion of the script.

sshpass -p $pw sftp $userID@$serverIP <<EOF
cd /root/perl
rename *.seq /root/perl/temp/*.seq
cd ./temp
mget *.seq
rm *seq
bye
EOF

now problem I am facing with rename command while moving the files...coz one file we can move by using below command.

rename geetika.seq /root/perl/temp/geetika.seq

but while moving all the seq files its is not allowing to run the below command and throwing the error. File "/root/perl/temp/*.seq" not found.

rename *.seq /root/perl/temp/*.seq

also I didn't find any way to take one file at a time and rename it in sftp. Please help if any one way is possible (all files at a time or one by one...)
