The proper way to automate SFTP is using keys. There are tutorials for 'passwordless ssh' all over the internet, which apply equally well to sftp, because they are in fact the same protocol.

It's very simple. Generating the right files and putting them in the right places will allow you to connect without a password without kludging it with a third-party brute-forcing utility.

This is also the preferred way to do it because it does not require you to store passwords. It is nearly impossible to keep reversibly-stored passwords safe.
