SFTP in a shell script without public/private key

Thanks!
Hi all.... sorry for this very long delay, but I went on a trip.
After acknowledging the anwser of Zaxxon, I realized that I could solve my particulary problem by writing two scripts on the two servers I wanted to copy from using ftp, since the issue was that I could not connect through ftp from server 1 (the server I needed to copy to), but it was possible to connect through ftp from the other servers (the ones I wanted to copy from).
Hope this is not confusing....
Anyway, by writing this two scripts, and using the put command, I worked out my problem in time so I could go on my vacations without a guilty conscience...
But ofcourse the ideia was to write just one script on the main server, so thats why I posted this question, but it seemes that ssh and sftp will not allow to work in scripts without promping the user and password, only the use of public/private keys...
Anyway, and once again, your help was preciouse and again sorry for so late replay from me.
Thank you all
P.S. By the way, in case I could not use ftp on either direction, and the use of public/private keys was not an option (case where the server are crucial and very sensible to errors one might do, and the perimission to mingle with the .ssh directory is not recommended) there is absolutly no way to write scripts capable of copying files from other servers??!! Just a question, since I found nothing satisfying on net....

mount_ftp
MOUNT_FTP(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_FTP(8) NAME
mount_ftp -- mount a FTP filesystem SYNOPSIS
mount_ftp [-i] [-o options] ftp://host[:port][/path] node DESCRIPTION
The mount_ftp command mounts a FTP-enabled server directory at ftp://host[:port][/path] at the mount point indicated by node. If the -i option is not used, all the required information to establish a login to the remote server must be available in the ftp URL, including username & password if needed. The user ID for all files and folders is set to the user's real user ID. The group ID for all files and directories is set to unknown, and the permissions default to read and execute for user, group and other. The options are: -i Interactive mode, you are prompted for the username and password if you did not supply one in the url. -o Options passed to mount(2) are specified with the -o option followed by a comma separated string of options. See the mount(8) man page for possible options and their meanings. The rdonly option will be set even if it was not specified because mount_ftp does not allow files to be opened with write access on servers. ftp://host[:port][/path] The FTP-enabled server directory to mount as a volume. If port is not specified, then port 21 is used. If path is not specified, then the path "/" is used. node Path to mount point. EXAMPLES
The following example illustrates how to mount the FTP-enabled server directory ftp.apple.com/ at the mount point /Volumes/mntpnt/ mount_ftp ftp://ftp.apple.com/ /Volumes/mntpnt/ SEE ALSO
mount(2), unmount(2), mount(8) HISTORY
The mount_ftp command first appeared Mac OS X Version 10.2. RETURN VALUES
0 mount_ftp successfully mounted the server directory. [ENOENT] The server directory could not be mounted by mount_ftp because the node path is invalid. [ENODEV] The server directory could not be mounted by mount_ftp because it is not FTP-enabled or because it does not exist, or because node does not have proper access. [ECANCELED] The server directory could not be mounted by mount_ftp because the user did not provide proper authentication credentials. BUGS
mount_ftp only supports mounting read-only. Mac OS X June 6, 2003 Mac OS X
