If you need only one you can select whether to allocate a temp DSN or a UNIX file.
If your data set is large it might be desirable to avoid creating a large UNIX file. Sftp just executes a monitor program at the remote site. Instead of sftp you might be able to: cp //temp.dsn /dev/fd/1 | ssh user@remotehost " set -x; cat >remote.file.txt" (Yo never said how you solved the original "cp" problem.)
