SFTP or scp with password in a batch script without using SSH keys and expect script

Dear All,

I have a requirement where I have to SFTP or SCP a file in a batch script. Unfortunately, the destination server setup is such that it doesn't allow for shell command line login. So, I am not able to set up SSH keys. My source server is having issues with Expect. So, unable to use expect scripting too. FTP is not allowed as it is setup for secure transfer only.

In brief, I am looking to automate the file transfer through SFTP or SCP by passing password as argument- probably reading it from a hidden file. Please advise. Thanks.
