You could try scp with server keys instead - you wouldn't need to put the
password in the scripts then - the servers would allow eachother to login
based upon the keys exchanged.

Just a thought...

Subject: Alternatives to sftp?


Hey list,

I was wondering what the alternatives were to something like 
sftp?  I have 
two servers that need to send files (approx. 10mb) to each 
other a couple of 
times a day and I wanted to know what other options I had to 
do it securely. 
  Is there anything else out there besides sftp and pgp for 
something like 
this?

Thanks
john
