If you are on the sftp> prompt and want to check out something on your Terminal shell from which you logged into SFTP you can do that by using the command ! on the sftp> prompt.
Just type ! on sftp> prompt and I am taken back to my Zsh shell on the macOS, I can do whatever i want to do on the Zsh shell (check files, dir locations, execute script, etc) and when I want to return to the sftp> just type bye
