Hello kannansoft1985,

You can use expect script for same, in that either you can use the password(Which is not one of the best ways) or you can create a file which has password with proper permissions say400 and call it in expect script. Following URL may help you.
Passing arguments to an Expect script as variables

Other way is to use ssh-keygen. You can refer following link for same.

If you don't want to provide the password (i.e. don't want to do secure copy) then use below command

Code:
cp /net/sourcePath<space>/destPath

Thanks,
Ibadh.
