Passing an scp/ssh password

[pkohler]

Hi..

How do you pass along a password when using applescript to automate an scp process?

I have this

property app104 : "cd /Users/dev/Documents/ |scp my.server@my.domain:/export/home/me/filename.bz2"

tell application "Terminal"
run
do script app104
end tell

now, when i mod this to target an unsecure test box, it works fine. but the server i need to get the file from is secure and requires password authentication. I tried :

cd /Users/dev/Documents/ |scp my.server@my.domain:/export/home/me/filename.bz2 |mypassword

but it didnt work

I need to pass the password off as a second command but, when i do this, a second terminal window launches to receive only the password.

Some background on me: I really dont know anything about applescript or Terminal, I'm really just in desperate need of automating this as I need to leech a single file off a bunch of machines daily. I dont know what a shell or a bash is; I'm kind of drowning here pending the replacement of two staff members who have gone on to better things
