batch mode for sftp assumes you don’t need a password. From the manage:
-b batchfile
Batch mode reads a series of commands from an input batchfile
instead of stdin.
Since it lacks user interaction it should be used in conjunction
with non-inter‐
active authentication.
You would need to set up an ssh key with a null passphrase, or set up an
ssh-agent in order for that to work.
Another option would be to use pexpect to automate console input
