Many people use USS to mean "z/OS UNIX System Services". It is an unapproved 
acronym.

Why not use BPXWUNIX to run a UNIX command in REXX?

/* REXX */
RC=SYSCALLS('ON')
SAY RC
stdin.0=0
stdout.0=0
stderr.0=0
call bpxwunix 'ls -l',,stdout.
DO I=1 TO STDOUT.0
   SAY STDOUT.I
END

In your case, put the sftp command in the stdin. variables. I don't know them 
myself, but something like:

stdin.1='first command'
stdin.2='second command'
stdin.3='some other command with operands'
stdin.4='last command'
stdin.0=4
call bpxwunix 'sftp ..options..',stdin.,stdout.,stderr.
DO I=1 TO STDOUT.0
   SAY STDOUT.I
END
