List recursively all files on sftp - bash

Question

I'd like to write bash script to recursively list all files (with fullpaths) on sftp and interact with paths locally afterwards (so only thing for what sftp is needed is getting the paths). Unfortunately the "ls -R" doesn't work there.
Any idea how to do that with some basic POC would be really appreciated
Available commands:
bye Quit sftp
cd path Change remote directory to 'path'
chgrp grp path Change group of file 'path' to 'grp'
chmod mode path Change permissions of file 'path' to 'mode'
chown own path Change owner of file 'path' to 'own'
df [-hi] [path] Display statistics for current directory or
filesystem containing 'path'
exit Quit sftp
get [-Ppr] remote [local] Download file
help Display this help text
lcd path Change local directory to 'path'
lls [ls-options [path]] Display local directory listing
lmkdir path Create local directory
ln [-s] oldpath newpath Link remote file (-s for symlink)
lpwd Print local working directory
ls [-1afhlnrSt] [path] Display remote directory listing
lumask umask Set local umask to 'umask'
mkdir path Create remote directory
progress Toggle display of progress meter
put [-Ppr] local [remote] Upload file
pwd Display remote working directory
quit Quit sftp
rename oldpath newpath Rename remote file
rm path Delete remote file
rmdir path Remove remote directory
symlink oldpath newpath Symlink remote file
version Show SFTP version
!command Execute 'command' in local shell
! Escape to local shell

Answer 1

This recursive script does the job:
#!/bin/bash
#
URL=user#XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
TMPFILE=/tmp/ls.sftp
echo 'ls -1l' > $TMPFILE
function handle_dir {
echo "====== $1 ========="
local dir=$1
sftp -b $TMPFILE "$URL:$dir" | tail -n +2 | while read info; do
echo "$info"
if egrep -q '^d' <<< $info; then
info=$(echo $info)
subdir=$(cut -d ' ' -f9- <<< $info)
handle_dir "$dir/$subdir"
fi
done
}
handle_dir "."
fill URL with the sftp server data.

I scan the whole Internet and find a great tool sshfs. Mount the remote directory tree through SSHFS. SSHFS is a remote filesystem that uses the SFTP protocol to access remote files.
Once you've mounted the filesystem, you can use all the usual commands without having to care that the files are actually remote.
sshfs helps me a lot, may give you help, too.
mkdir localdir
sshfs user#host:/dir localdir
cd localdir
find . -name '*'
