awk '/sftp> ls -lrt/{flag=1;next}/sftp> bye/{flag=0}flag' filename
but i want to print data as;
/Out/AP/SD -rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 0 Oct 25 10:24 HOLD_201810261247_M.csv
/Out/AP/SD -rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 0 Oct 25 10:24 HOLD_201810261247_S.csv

/Out/AS/SD -rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 191231356 Oct 25 13:01 HOLD_201810261753_M.csv

Here it is multi line output excluding lines without a character:
$ awk '/^Changing to: / { match($0,/^Changing to: /); dir=substr($0,RLENGTH+1); } /^sftp> ls -lrt$/ { doprint=1; next; } /^sftp> bye$/ { doprint=0; } /.+/ { if ( doprint == 1 ) print(dir " " $0); }' sftp.out

If You need as one line output as it was in original question:
$ awk '/^Changing to: / { match($0,/^Changing to: /); printf("%s ",substr($0,RLENGTH+1)); } /^sftp> ls -lrt$/ { doprint=1; next; } /^sftp> bye$/ { doprint=0; } /.+/ { if (doprint == 1) printf("%s ",$0); } END { print(""); }' sftp.out
