    Hello All,
    According to the man pages on SFTP you can use the -b to automate SFTP. The
    -b points to a command file that has the sftp commands. Has anyone been
    able to get SFTP to work in a script form like ftp. We do the following for
    ftp automation:

    echo "user username password" > ftpfile
    echo "cd abcd" >> ftpfile
    echo "get filename" >> ftpfile
    echo "bye" >> ftpfile

    ftp ftpsite < ftpfile

    I have tried to do something similar with SFTP but cannot seem to get it to
    work. This script needs to be run by a user other than the sftp login user.
    According to the man pages I would have to do sftp username@sftpserver. Any
    ideas would be appreciated.
