I’m only suggesting it because it’s an easier way to interface with expect. If
you aren’t allowed to install it, then we’ll stop talking about it.

You still are not understanding my point. using sftp in batch mode CAN’T USE a
password. If you look at the manpage for sftp, batch mode prohibits it.
-b batchfile
Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input batchfile
instead of stdin.
Since it lacks user interaction it should be used in conjunction
with non-inter‐
active authentication. <<—————
“non-interactive authentication” means you must use an ssh key to authenticate
instead of a password. In other words, trying to figure out how to send a
login to the subprocess is not the issue; even if you can, it won’t work
because sftp *in batch mode* will not accept it. If you _can’t_ set up an ssh
key for this access, then you MUST stop trying to use batch mode, because it
will never work.

There is no code for this because it is not possible to do within the
constraints you have proposed up to this point.
1. Can you set up ssh key passwordless authentication?
if yes, then do it and what you have now will start working
if no, then you can’t use sftp the way you are currently trying (the -b
“batch mode”) and find a different solution (expect, here docs, etc).
