Rolan, you have two choices:

1. Print the whole content on STDERR so you don't disturb the sftp

2. if [ "$-" != 'hBc' ]; then echo 'your content here'; fi

If you go to the second option, the idea there is that $- is set to hBc every 
time you use the shell from SFTP (non-interactive mode). So you echo all the 
things you like only if it is an interactive shell.
