Sftp put -r does not work, the terminal prints "Input myDirectory" and then nothing happens

Question

I am trying to load a directory from my local machine into a drop of Digital Ocean, ubuntu 14.04 using the "put -r myDirectory" command. I initially had the problem of "canonicalize path", but I created a remote "myDirectory" as indicated, and the error message disappeared.

However, "put -r myDirectory" still does not work - the console prints "Download myDirectory / to / remote / path / myDirectory, Enter myDirectory /", and then nothing happens. I am new to sftp, but I am very puzzled because I can not find my problem on the Internet.

Well, now I am facing the same problem. It seems that this OpenSSH error report may have a lot in common with it:

I work on Ubuntu 15.10, OpenSSH version 6.9p1. It seems that they have fixed this in this commit since February 11 , but I'm still not sure how to run it in the current environment.
