Have you checked the error log files on both ends to see if you can find out what the problem might be? Also I would avoid the passwd in a file/script for security reasons. Even if its a jailed generic user with limited permissions its still not a good practice.
I would verify both ends have the SSH services configured correctly and that I don't have any errors in my log files while the service is running or while connecting/transferring files.
I would then check the Windows user account that I am using with the login name and verify the permissions are right. I would also check the event viewer for errors tied to that user account.
I would then get your keys working on both ends. See if you can use keys to authenticate to the UNIX host from Windows.
I would setup a scheduled task on the Windows host to sftp using key-authentication to the UNIX host and put the files before I would go the passwd in a file route.
Good luck!
