I try to upload localDir to remote server i follow this guide SFTP Guide

but when upload the localDir and go inside i see blankDir I did the following

sftp> lls
404.html  crm nginx-logo.png  test.php

sftp> ls
 crm
     
sftp> put -r crm /usr/share/nginx/html
      Uploading crm/ to /usr/share/nginx/html/crm
      Entering crm/

I created crm dir according to the following note in SFTP Guide

Note

    Yes, I see where it shows put -r localDirectory with the localDirectory in your case will be /crm but the location where you are uploading it to on the server (/usr/share/nginx/html/) the /crm is already there. If you're in /usr/share/nginx/html/ then run rmdir crm and then do the put -r crm to see if it shows what you're expecting. I think the /crm is already where you are trying to upload it to, or I'm totally lost which is absolutely possible... put I do FTP stuff all the time... Perhaps the error isn't clear to me.

    I noticed where it said the workaround to that issue you added to your answer is to make the directory first and then upload it. So you'd run mkdir crm and then run put -r crm.

Your Error

enter image description here

To resolve your error per your comment, just run mkdir crm and then run put -r crm.

The same flags that work with "get" apply to "put". So to copy an entire local directory, you can issue:

put -r localDirectory
