Upload files to SFTP server via PHP (phpseclib)

Question

I have CSVs that I want to upload to the 'incoming' folder in the SFTP server. I am using phpseclib to do this. The connection is already there but it does not output anything.

I'm not sure if what I did was correct since I haven't dealt with SFTP before. Here's what my code looks like:

$file = "leads.csv";

$server = "41.160.150.200";
//$server = "ft.bayport.co.za";
$port = "22";
$username = "";
$password = ""; 

//username and password removed for security reasons

set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . 'phpseclib');

include 'Net/SFTP.php';

define('NET_SFTP_LOGGING', NET_SFTP_LOG_COMPLEX); // or NET_SFTP_LOG_SIMPLE

$sftp = new Net_SFTP($server);

// Check SFTP Connection
if (!$sftp->login($username, $password)) {
    echo 'Login Failed.';
    echo $sftp->getSFTPLog();
}else{

echo 'Connected to SFTP.';

echo $sftp->pwd();

// Upload CSVs to SFTP incoming folder
     echo $upload = $sftp->put("incoming/".$file, "./bayport/".$file, NET_SFTP_LOCAL_FILE);

}

I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

Now I know what's the problem with the script.

The remote directory URL was wrong. "incoming/" should be "/incoming/"
