I need to upload files to an SFTP server as part of an automated pipeline process (so can not be interactive). I do not have ssh access so I can not use scp or rsync.

I have had some success using the solution proposed in this answer:

sftp user@server <<EOF

put localPath remotePath

EOF

However I am looking for something a bit more solid, as I will have no indication if this fails. For example, if I wanted to download from an SFTP server I can use the following syntax:

sftp user@server:remotePath localPath

Is there an equivalent one-liner for uploading?

sftp

You can use "Batch Mode" of sftp.
From manual:

Which means, you create a temporary file with the commands and execute the commands in the file with "sftp -b tempfile user@server"

There are other tools around for such things, e.g. lftp
