It would almost certainly be easier and quicker to tar/zip the directories; upload the archive and untar/zip it at the other end.

    How would that be easier? I honestly don't know :D Isn't it simpler to just copy the file?

    This is the workaround I made for my problem but its not great seeing as the user has to input one more command

    if ($upload_local && $upload_remote && $up_dir) { print "Preparing to upload file $upload_local to $upload_remote \n"; sleep 3; if ($sftp->mkpath($up_dir)){ if ($sftp->put($upload_local, $upload_remote)){ print "The file \"$upload_local\" was uploaded to \"$upload_remote\""; } else { print "\"$upload_local\" or \"$upload_remote\" could not be found. Che +ck your path!"; } } else { print "\"$up_dir\" could not be found. Check your path!"; } }
