You do not need to use the expect brute-forcing tool to store and cram plaintext passwords insecurely into sftp. If you use keys, sftp automatic login will work directly, safely, and securely with no expect mumbo-jumbo. This is how it's supposed to work.

If your workplace has disallowed keys, they likely mean to forbid automatic login, and will be livid to discover you circumventing their rules by using an insecure, third-party brute-forcing utility instead.
