specifics required
sftp behavior in this realm are very implementation specific. The core problem is historical in nature. UNIX used to mean a lot of folks sharing a system. If you put the password in the command line, anyone who did a ps would see the password. A number of approaches were used by different coders to avoid this problem. One is to use a password file. The name is on the command line but the file access is limited. Another approach is to cache the password by site. If the process doesn't have a terminal connected, try using the password out of the cache. Another approach is to use a PKI certificate for authentication.

We probably need to know what software is on each end to be able to provide an answer for you.

kpasswd

kpasswd(1)							   User Commands							kpasswd(1)

NAME

       kpasswd - change a user's Kerberos password

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/kpasswd [principal]

DESCRIPTION

       The  kpasswd command is used to change a Kerberos principal's password. kpasswd prompts for the current Kerberos password, which is used to
       obtain a changepw ticket from the KDC for the user's Kerberos realm. If kpasswd successfully obtains  the  changepw  ticket,  the  user	is
       prompted twice for the new password, and the password is changed.

       If the principal is governed by a policy that specifies the length and/or number of character classes required in the new password, the new
       password must conform to the policy. (The five character classes are lower case, upper case, numbers, punctuation, and  all  other  charac-
       ters.)

OPERANDS

       The following operand is supported:

       principal

	   Change  the	password  for the Kerberos principal principal. Otherwise, the principal is derived from the identity of the user invoking
	   the kpasswd command.

FILES

       /tmp/ovsec_adm.xxxxxx

	   Temporary credentials cache for the lifetime of the password changing operation. (xxxxxx is a random string.)

ATTRIBUTES

BUGS

       If kpasswd is suspended, the changepw tickets may not be destroyed.
