Password in sftp NOT with key

I've been trying to get out of this, but my manager wont budge.

He wants to sftp files from a server while passing the password in the script. I have said we need to use keys...he said no.
I asked if we had expect capability...no.

He said "use -b batch file command"

I have checked every thread and search and asked several people. I can't find a way to do this is sftp or ssh.

There is a file containing the password in txt.

Is this even possible?
