I have the below script and it executes correctly however I cant get passed the section when system prompts password. I would like to have RF enter the password for me. How can I get this accomplished?

    *** Settings ***
Library  OperatingSystem
Library  Process


*** Variables ***

*** Test Cases ***
Login to Server
      Run  sftp -o "Port 44444" [email protected]

Side note: Im trying to drop a file into our sftp server.. I know Robot has SSHLibrary, however, due to security we are blocking SSH calls to this server.

Once I get passed the login process I was thinking the rest should be easy.

Linux? If so, look at the answers here, private key, sshpass or expect will do it. – Todor Minakov

If you plan to go through the command line, then please take @Todor's comment to heart and use private keys and that way prevent having to fill in the password at all.

An alternative approach is to create a custom Robot Framework Python Library based on an already existing Python SFTP Client Module, like for example cis-yogesh - Python_sftp_client and convert it to a Robot Library.
