Is sftp-server's stdout redirected to client ?

[Avraham Fraenkel - Commatch]

Hello,
  Another suggestion - redirect the command output to stderr, this will go
  to the sftp-client stderr and (in openssh client) will showed on the
screen.
  (The syntax depend on the shell on the server).
  In the sftp protocol there is no way to send data to the client in any
other way.

this won't work. you need to extend the sftp protocol.

sftp-server prints the messages to stdout and
expencts the requests from the client on stdin.

i don't think this change makes sense.
