Have you checked the error log files on both ends to see if you can find out what the problem might be? Also I would avoid the passwd in a file/script for security reasons. Even if its a jailed generic user with limited permissions its still not a good practice.

I would verify both ends have the SSH services configured correctly and that I don't have any errors in my log files while the service is running or while connecting/transferring files.

I would then check the Windows user account that I am using with the login name and verify the permissions are right. I would also check the event viewer for errors tied to that user account.

I would then get your keys working on both ends. See if you can use keys to authenticate to the UNIX host from Windows.

I would setup a scheduled task on the Windows host to sftp using key-authentication to the UNIX host and put the files before I would go the passwd in a file route.

Good luck!

check-permissions

check-permissions(1M)					  System Administration Commands				     check-permissions(1M)

NAME

       check-permissions - check permissions on mail rerouting files

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/check-permissions [login]

DESCRIPTION

       The   check-permissions script is intended as a migration aid for sendmail(1M). It checks the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file for all configured
       alias files, and checks the alias files for :include: files. It also checks for certain .forward files. For each file  that   check-permis-
       sions checks, it verifies that none of the parent directories are group- or world-writable. If any directories are overly permissive, it is
       reported. Otherwise it reports that no unsafe directories were found.

       As to which .forward files are checked, it depends on the arguments included on the command line. If no	argument  is  given,  the  current
       user's home directory is checked for the presence of a  .forward file. If any arguments are given, they are assumed to be valid logins, and
       the home directory of each one is checked.

       If the special argument ALL is given,  the passwd entry in the  /etc/nsswitch.conf file is checked, and all password entries  that  can	be
       obtained through the switch file are checked. In large domains, this can be time-consuming.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       login	       Where login is a valid user name, checks the home directory for	login.

       ALL	       Checks the home directory of  all users.

FILES

       /etc/mail/sendmail.cf   Defines enviornment for	sendmail

       /etc/mail/aliases       Ascii mail aliases file
