SFTP not working in cron - Shell Programming and Scripting

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
cd /path
sftp remoteuser@remotehost:/path <<EOF
mput Test.txt
bye
EOF

I'm assuming that leaving off EOF was a typo.

sftp used that way requires that authentication keys be set up on the remote host.
What local user is authenticated to remoteuser on the remotehost? And is the script running as that user, ie., do you su to the required local user?
