Try this:

sftp -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no  user@ftpsite.com << !
 progress
 cd offload
 put /media/*/*.tgz |zenity --progress --auto-close

From man sftp:

 progress
   Toggle display of progress meter.

There is nothing like popup in `sftp` command-line tool. If you need popup, use Filezilla or some other GUI applications. – Jakuje Feb 15 '17 at 19:39
