--- Comment #2 from Ryan <ryman559 at hotmail.com> ---
Seems the behaviour is different between the two.

sftp:

If the -R flag is specified then directories will be copied
recursively.  Note that sftp does not follow symbolic links when
performing recursive transfers.

scp:

     -r      Recursively copy entire directories.  Note that scp
follows symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal.
