By design, SFTP should prevent you from easily shovelling in credentials.
  • If you want to have a manually driven connection, you can always let it prompt to the screen for the password (you can code the user in the sftp such as sftp remote_user@remote_host)
  • If you want to fully automate the connection, keys are the way to go. Is there a reason that you don't want to use keys?
