Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting SFTP using user id and password Post 302416879 by zaxxon on Wednesday 28th of April 2010 03:23:51 AM

This is asked quite often in the forum - sftp is used either with entering password etc. manually or passwordless via key exchange.
The -b is to specify a batchfile that contains commands, not passwords.

Set up public keys which have been generated without entering a passphrase using ssh-keygen and try again.

Also scp might be more comfortable than sftp, if you have a choice.
