First you need to setup ssh password less authentication
Here you you are the script
Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash
sftp -oBatchMode=no -b - user@host << !
bin
cd dir
put yourfilelog
bye

That is called a here document.

That will work with sftp ONLY if you set up ssh keys, otherwise you always get asked for the password. Keys == Not hard to do at all.

Complete step by step example:

ssh-keygen: password-less SSH login
