You should really use keys for stuff like this.
However if you must put the password in a script, use Net::SFTP (i.e. Perl).

net::ssh2::sftp
Net::SSH2::SFTP(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::SSH2::SFTP(3pm)
NAME
Net::SSH2::SFTP - SSH 2 Secure FTP object
DESCRIPTION
An SFTP object is created by the Net::SSH2 "sftp" method.
error
Returns the last SFTP error (one of the LIBSSH2_FX_* constants). Use this when Net::SSH2::error returns LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL. In
list context, returns (code, error name).
open ( file [, flags [, mode ]]] )
Open or create a file on the remote host. The flags are the standard O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_RDWR, O_APPEND, O_CREAT, O_TRUNC, and O_EXCL,
which may be combined as usual. Flags default to O_RDONLY and mode to 0666 (create only). Returns a Net::SSH2::File object on success.
opendir ( dir )
Open a directory on the remote host; returns a Net::SSH2::Dir object on success.
unlink ( file )
Delete the remote file.
rename ( old, new [, flags ] )
Rename old to new. Flags are taken from LIBSSH2_SFTP_RENAME_*, and may be combined; the default is to use all (overwrite, atomic, native).
mkdir ( path [, mode ] )
Create directory; mode defaults to 0777.
rmdir ( path )
Remove directory.
stat ( path [, follow ] )
Get file attributes for the given path. If follow is set (default), will follow symbolic links. On success, returns a hash containing the
following:
mode
size
uid
gid
atime
mtime
setstat ( path, key, value... )
Set file attributes for given path; keys are the same as those returned by stat; note that it's not necessary to pass them all.
symlink ( path, target [, type ] )
Create a symbolic link to a given target.
readlink ( path )
Return the target of the given link, undef on failure.
realpath ( path )
Resolve a filename's path; returns the resolved path, or undef on error.
