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.
