Did you try transerring your public key via sftp to the server so that you would not have to prompt for a password. Note: sftp provides a batch (-b) mode but it's not for entering a password. You can use a program like expect to send the password (but try transferring your public key to your remote directory under ~/.ssh/authorized_keys)
Like i said, we are not allowed to transfer public keys to the remote dir. Only to get files. This will not work. Thanks anyway

I figured out finally. This will work by using the lftp option. This is the only way where you can test a password in a batch SFTP script.
