How to avoid passwd prompting in the script.

I am wondering is there any script for sftp automation.

Thanks in advance

You can set-up RSA/DSA keys without a password.

This is not recommended though.

You cal also use batch mode for non-interactive login, but user and password will have to be in a parameter file

have a look to sftp -b your_batchfile_name in the man pages of sftp

When I use the batch mode like

sftp -b test.cmd

it is not working

my test.cmd file
open stg@10.90.1.42
put test.txt
quit

Public key authentication is the answer.

It's safer as well, no brute force password attacks can be done on the server if the server SSHD is set up to not allow for password authentication.

The only security risk is to keep your private key safe from hackers, once they obtain that they can log on too. You can use a passphrase for your private key to make it more hacker proof, but that brings you back to the exact same problem you have now.
