I don't think it can easily be done from a script only, but it's possibly
to write a wrapper program in C that opens a pseudo-tty, then forks,
setting the controlling tty of the child to the pseudo-tty. This would
allow stdin/stdout/stderr communication with the wrapper.
Yes, it works. Yes, it's ugly. Yes, it will be in the next version of
sftp (ftp replacement that runs over ssh - see http://www.xbill.org/sftp).
