You need to write your script to run scp in the expect scripting
language. Expect is an extention of tcl. Easy to use and easy learn. Your
problem is that the request for the password is not supposed to come from
stdin; it's supposed to come from /dev/console. Expect starts child
processes which have an attached pair of psuedo terminals whih it has full
control over.
