Jim,
Thanks for your reply. We have generated keys on both the source and destination machines authenticating the user. We are running the script from this user. If I type it manually from a command prompt "TestSFTP.sh", it works fine. However when I put it in cron it doesn't.
As a further test, I put in an additional line in cron to send me an email.
#!/bin/ksh
mailx -s "Test"
myemail@myemail.com < /path/TestSFTPcron.txt
cd /localpath
sftp remotename@remotehost:/remotepath <<EOF
mput Test.txt
bye
EOF
When I do this, it also works completely fine when I run it manually. However, in cron I so receive the email but the file is not put on the remote machine.
It looks like the script is partially working...

mailping
0.0.4
MAILPING-STORE(1) Mailping MAILPING-STORE(1)
NAME
mailping-store - store email from stdin to a mailping incoming maildir
SYNOPSIS
mailping-store
DESCRIPTION
mailping-store reads an email from standard input and writes it into a maildir chosen according to following logic:
1. If EXTENSION is not set, select Maildir.
2. If EXTENSION is set, ensure its value is safe to use, and select EXTENSION/incoming.
mailping-store is usually run from a .forward file, and thus the filenames above are relative to the home directory of the account in
question.
Normal use
Normally, mailping-store is used to ease the setup of new circuits to probe from mailping-cron. This is done with a system account mailping
using <mailping@yourhost.example.com> as the from address, and <mailping+circuitname@yourhost.example.com> (or some remote address aliased
to that) as the to address. In fact, these are the default values for from and to, so you can just skip creating those configuration files.
This allows adding new test circuits without any changes to the email configuration.
FILES
/var/lib/mailping/state/circuit/incoming
Maildir to store the email to.
/var/lib/mailping/state/Maildir/
Maildir to store the email to, if no extension was given.
ENVIRONMENT
MAILPING_STATEDIR
Override the location of the state directory. Circuit states are stored in the state subdirectory of this directory, in subdirectories
named after the circuit name. Default: /var/lib/mailping
EXTENSION
Name of the current circuit to store the mail for.
