I have found a script and tried it to no avail. I get the following error.
Warning: tcgetattr failed in ssh_rl_set_tty_modes: Inappropriate ioctl for device
I got the following script from this site and used it. I got it to ask for my password but that isn't what I'm aiming for. I need this thing to run at night on it's own. And it asked me for my root password not the password for the user I specified in the script. I know what all the lines are for except the first and the 5th (lcd....). Can someone explain what those are doing for me. I think I'm on the right track, just need some more directions.
sftp IP ADDRESS<<end
user uname pword
