Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting SFTP prompting for password even though password is in script Post 302886010 by Corona688 on Wednesday 29th of January 2014 11:34:19 AM

ssh and scp and sftp are designed to prevent you from doing what you're trying to do, because keeping passwords in scripts is an extremely bad idea. "interactive password authentication" means "password typed by a human being in realtime authentication", and no substitutes for humans are acceptable to ssh.

The proper way to login noninteractively is to arrange ssh keys in advance.
