They do support SSH but the FTP doesn't support interaction. When I tried to write a batch file and call it with

Code:

sftp -B batchfile

it says:

Quote:

FATAL: ssh client failed to authenticate. (or you have too old ssh installed, check with ssh -v)

In other words, I didn't want to hard-code the password into the script so I basically had:

Code:

open user@hostname
put file /path/to/remote/dest
put file2 /path/to/remote/dest
quit

in the batch file and it failed executing the first command. I also tried using expect to "watch" my session and that didn't work either. Unfortunately, scp seems like the only thing that is script-able.
