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?

net::sftp::foreign::compat
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat(3pm)
NAME
Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat - Adaptor for Net::SFTP compatibility
SYNOPSIS
use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat;
my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat->new($host);
$sftp->get("foo", "bar");
$sftp->put("bar", "baz");
use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Compat ':supplant';
my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host);
DESCRIPTION
This package is a wrapper around Net::SFTP::Foreign that provides an API (mostly) compatible with that of Net::SFTP.
Methods on this package are identical to those in Net::SFTP except that Net::SFTP::Foreign::Attributes::Compat objects have to be used
instead of Net::SFTP::Attributes.
If the ":supplant" tag is used, this module installs also wrappers on the "Net::SFTP" and Net::SFTP::Attributes packages so no other parts
of the program have to modified in order to move from Net::SFTP to Net::SFTP::Foreign.
Setting defaults
The hash %Net::SFTP::Foreign::DEFAULTS can be used to set default values for Net::SFTP::Foreign methods called under the hood and otherwise
not accesible through the Net::SFTP API.
The entries currently supported are:
new => @opts
extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign constructor.
get => @opts
extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign::get method.
put => @opts
extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign::put method.
ls => @opts
extra options passed to Net::SFTP::Foreign::ls method.
