The .netrc file is generally used for FTP connection credentials etc., however you seem to want to use sftp which is another thing altogether.
SFTP uses files in (typically) ~/.ssh to store all sorts of things but it's quite different to plain FTP so you can't just copy things around.
More usually you would create a batch file of commands you want SFTP to perform and call them with a -b flag. You would need to either answer login prompts or create an SSH key pair, putting the public key on the target server.
How much do you know about SFTP use, authentication, etc.?
