Example:

[user@yourhost ~]# sftp k23@archive-sftp.lsdf.kit.edu
Connecting to archive-sftp.lsdf.kit.edu...
k23@archive-sftp.lsdf.kit.edu's password: 
sftp> ls -l
drwx------    4 k23      12345         512 Nov 23 16:51 private
sftp> cd private
sftp> pwd

The directory 'private' itself cannot be removed or renamed. Just create folders inside 'private' to organize your data.
