This is a difficult problem and it hasn't yet been solved.  I think
the proper solution is to keep the sftp-server running and allowing a
new connection to reconnect to it.  This may be possible using a
perl/python script, so that no new program needs to be installed on
the server side, but I'm not proficient enough in these languages to
be able to easily solve this.

Thanks,
