I want to do a automated sftp. what is the procedure for that.

You can run SFTP in batch mode using -b option as,

sftp -b

contains all commands

Proper setup is needed between source and destination machines for not asking password furing sftp. Else it will prompt for password.

if you can not automate the password entry procedure for sftp, then you can use 'expect' to script the sftp process.

Use publickey authentication can avoid being asked for a password. Provided that there is no passphase added to the publickey.
