A simple conditional may be useful within sftp. But I don't believe
upstream would accept a full-fledge scripting language as that would be
better served with a python script or a real language.
But a few cases it could be useful like:
cd /path
failed:
mkdir /path
cd /path
:deliaf
put foo
(Shitty language design constructions, but I'm just throwing out an idea
for the wider community and for Darren/Damien to thumb up or down.)
