Yup.  So, back to my other question regarding ssh key access…

Do you have the ability to ssh to an account on the target system (i.e., use 
ssh to log in, not use sftp to grab a file)?
If you do, then the “easiest” solution is to create an ssh key and set up 
passwordless authentication.  If you do not, then maybe you can upload the key 
through some web service.  What is the actual target system to which you are 
trying to connect?  Is there an admin that can help configure ssh key-based 
access for you?

If you can’t set up key access, then you will need to automate sending the 
login information (hence the pexpect recommendation, since this is a python 
list, after all).  If you can’t install pexpect, you may have expect available 
(on what OS are you running your script?); but writing an expect script is 
starting to drift away from a python tutor list a bit.

If you are on linux, you may want to forego python altogether if you can’t get 
the ssh key access enabled and use a bash here document for automation.

The disadvantage to this (and to using expect, for that matter) is plaintext 
storage of credentials on your system, but it’s pretty simple to use.
