This is a simple example example of putting a file with sftp, You can create a similar script to get file(s):
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
# test_sftp.sh
sftp -b /dev/stdin -v -o BatchMode=yes -o IdentityFile=/export/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa -o Port=22 user@host <<ENDSFTP
cd /home/user/test
put /export/home/user/test/test.txt test.txt.xferring
rename test.txt.xferring test.txt
quit
ENDSFTP
rc=$?
if [[ $rc != 0 ]]    then
    print "Error occured...$rc" `date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S"`
else
 print "Successful transfer...$rc" `date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S"`

NAME

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

DESCRIPTION

       sftp-server implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Protocol as defined in the IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer.

       sftp-server is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be run directly. There are no options or config settings.

       To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

       Subsystem   sftp     /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

       See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file.

       There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion.

       >0	An error occurred.
