I'm trying to write a shell script to transfer files to a remote windows machine which is running a ultra simple sftp server . So i don't have the option of using public key authentication.

From the Linux end its a stripped down version for non intel platform , So if i want to use "expect" i cant install expect/tcl/tk.
