Connect to remote server using sftp with password define within command/script
I am trying to connect to remote server in hp-ux, using sftp command (using sftp username@ip and password ) able to connect to remote server but, in this case sftp prompt for password and user need to manually enter it.
I want sftp can read a password define in script or from file, so it can remotely fetch data from server without asking for password.
NOTE:- with my server no public private key define, no export command works, even sudo is not define
Facing error with -password option in sftp
ksh: 8: parameter not set
Please suggest is there any optional command i can use to do the same.
In any case command/script should not prompt for password and get the data from remote server.even perl script is ok for me..

It's nearly impossible to keep stored plaintext passwords safe. Passing it in as --password, for example, would proudly display your password to every user on the system...
You say public/private keys do not work? Take a look at file permissions in ~/.ssh/, ssh is very particular about them. Also try ssh -v -v to get a closer look at where it decides to give up. (ssh/scp/sftp are all the same protocol fundamentally.)
