SFTP Error
I am trying to SFTP a file using this script:

FTPCHECK=`sftp $FTPUSER”@”$FTPHOST
cd $FTPDESTDIR
lcd $FILEPATH
put $FILENAME
close
quit
!`

But when I run the Script I am facing the below error:
-----------
Connecting to xxxxx.......
ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory
Host key verification failed.
-----------
Can you please help me to know why I am facing this error.

do you get the same error when you run sftp manually?

[edit] this seems to happen when you haven't ssh-ed to this host before and you run ssh without a terminal. Running sftp by hand to this host once, and answering 'yes' about adding the host, should fix it.

I registed the SFTP script as an oracle concurrent Program. I ran the Porgram. I got this error in the Log file.
Can you please guide me how to run SFTP by hand to this host....

To run it manually, on a shell run the following :
sftp username@hostname

Replace username with the user you want to connect as
Replace histname with name of host you want to connect to
