Not sure if this info is still desired, but I have just finished an auto sftp script.
All servers run a script to backup files, then this script runs to gather all the output files and centralize.
ssh keys must be set up and working for script to work. hope it helps.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

HOSTS="svr1 svr2 svr3 svr4 svr5"
DATE=`date '+%m%d%y.%H%M'`
LOG=/usr/local/scripts/xfer_failed

export HOSTS DATE LOG

### Main ###

if [ -f $LOG ];
 then mv $LOG $LOG.$DATE
 touch $LOG
 else touch $LOG
fi
#
for each in $HOSTS;
do
  if [ ! -d /usr/restore/$each ];
    then mkdir /usr/restore/$each
  fi
cd /usr/restore/$each
find . -type f -name "$each*.tar*" -mtime +14 -exec rm {} \;
#
sftp -b - $each << EOF
get /root/restore/$each.tar $each.$DATE.tar
bye
EOF
  if [ $? -ne 0 ];
    then echo "File transfer for $each failed. $DATE" >> $LOG
    cat $LOG | mailx -s "Vitalfile transfer failure" xxxxxxx@xxxxxx.com
    else continue
  fi
done

find /usr/local/scripts -type f -name "xfer_failed.*" -mtime +4 -exec rm {} \;

### End Main ###

LOG(1)							     cao-vlsi reference manual							    LOG(1)

NAME

       log - logical representations for boolean functions and utilities.

ORIGIN

       This  software  belongs	to  the  ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in
       Paris, France.

       Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/
       E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr

DESCRIPTION

       log is a set of structures and functions that permits to manipulate several representations of  boolean	functions.  Several  programs  and
       libraries of the cao-vlsi cad tools rest on the log package. Three different kind of functions are available for:

       Hash table management

       Prefixed representation for boolean functions

       Ordered binary decision diagrams representation

EXAMPLE

       Let's suppose that actual mbk version is 'nnn'.	In order to use log, libMutnnn.a library must be called.
       makefile:
       HEADER = -I/labo/include
       LIB = -L/labo/lib -lMut -ltsh -labl -lbdd
       Each  library  can  be  called  separatly.  The	"log.h" header file must be inserted in the files that use the functions or the structures
       defined in a library.
