Thank, I was missing the space.
Now the session is just hanging (input inhibited) on the QSH screen. I even
changed the GET portion to just a quit thinking it was hanging trying to get
the file but it still hangs.
The first QSH displays the password and I have to hit enter. That seems
wrong but maybe that is how this works. I'm guessing that might be the
problem with the second QSH but I have no idea what this is really doing so
I don't know what I am looking for.
Here is my batch_sftp_script.sh
export DISPLAY= SSH_ASKPASS=/QOpenSys/etc/openssh_password_script.sh
printf "quit\n" | sftp theUserID@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Here is my openssh_password_script.sh
#!/bin/sh
printf thePassword
Here is my CL that is running it.
QSH CMD('/QOpenSys/etc/openssh_password_script.sh')
QSH CMD('exec /QOpenSys/usr/bin/ksh -c "/ftp/batch_sftp_script.sh"')
I guess the other question that I should ask is if there is a better way to
do this (and if so, can you provide a working copy that I can adjust to what
I need)? Repeating that this is to pull PTFs from IBM's website so having
SFTP and a password (not a key) is my only option (at least that I know of).

Subject: Re: SFTP using password
I think your code is incorrect.
Your script should not be triggering a search for
*/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/SC1/OpenSSH/libexec/ssh-askpass*
That is why (in the cited example) there is the phrase:
*export DISPLAY= SSH_ASKPASS=/QOpenSys/etc/openssh_password_script.sh *
If I had to take a *wild* guess, I'd say that if you followed the example
closely and copied this line, you left out the space after *export DISPLAY=
*and ran the equals-sign right up against the
*SSH_ASKPASS=/QOpenSys/etc/openssh_password_script.sh*

I have built it based on this website -

When I run it, I am getting the following error
