I am attempting to upload files onto my webserver using sftp.  As
far as I can 
tell from reading the man pages and searching online, the correct
syntax once 
connected via sftp is:

put -r * 
  
  I'm no expert myself, but shouldn't that be
  
 mput *
 
 mput doesn't seem to be an sftp command. Maybe you were thinking of
 lftp? But lftp's mput command doesn't appear to do recursion. lftp has
 a reverse mirror command mirror -R which looks like it will do the
 job. You can connect to an sftp server with lftp using a command like
 lftp sftp://username@host/path/to/dir
 
 Another alternative would be to use rsync e.g.
 rsync -aiz files username@host:/path/to/dir

Yet another alternative might be scp instead of sftp.  I use scp -pr 
often.
