Yet another sftp automation question

Hello,

I've read quite a few of the sftp questions and answers on the forum but I believe my situation is slightly different.

I need to automate an sftp transfer to a host that requires not only a ssh publickey, but also a password.

When I try using sftp in batch mode, supplying a "user '<uname>' '<pwd>'" config simply does not work.
sftp -b - user@host <<!
<commands>
!
During verbose output I see the remote host responds:

Quote:
authmethod_lookup publickey
...
Authenticated with Partial success
Authentications that can continue: password
...
authmethod_lookup password
I've tried various things in the batch commands to no avail Smilie

Cheers,
n
