Generally including a password in a command line is considered a security risk because it will show up to anyone else who can run ps/top, and it may be saved in your shell's history.
It would be a much better idea to setup key-based authentication if you are able.
Also, I don't believe it is going to be possible with sftp. It is meant to be used for secure transfers. If you really had to do something like this and you have no other choice then you probably need to be looking at automating with expect.

Just use perl, ruby or python to script what you are trying to do. In case of ruby it's just (taken from the net-sftp API docs):
require 'net/sftp'
Net::SFTP.start('host', 'username', :password => 'password') do |sftp|

sftp.upload!("/path/to/local", "/path/to/remote")

As the other answers have stated, use public key authentication. There is a great, although a little dated, IBM developerWorks series that should explain everything you want to know about it, as well as some useful supplemental tools such as keychain.

I suspect that there are as many answers as there are FTP clients. An SFTP server should not accept authentication information until encryption is established, so that the user and password are protected.
I believe the FileZilla client will allow for command line passing of the user and password .. see the documentation here. Given the reputation of the FileZilla project, I would expect it to operate securely.

For searchers that don't care that the password can be seen in the command-line command:
sftp userid:password@remoteHost is how to include the password in the sftp connect command.

This turned out to be incorrect... this method appeared to work for me because PHP and its ssh2 extension were being used earlier in my code to do actual standalone authentication... and the sftp command was being run later. It was this later piece where the syntax appeared to succeed.

As the other answers have stated, use public key authentication. There is a great, although a little dated, IBM developerWorks series that should explain everything you want to know about it, as well as some useful supplemental tools such as keychain.

I suspect that there are as many answers as there are FTP clients. An SFTP server should not accept authentication information until encryption is established, so that the user and password are protected.
I believe the FileZilla client will allow for command line passing of the user and password .. see the documentation here. Given the reputation of the FileZilla project, I would expect it to operate securely.

For searchers that don't care that the password can be seen in the command-line command:
sftp userid:password@remoteHost is how to include the password in the sftp connect command.
UPDATE: this turned out to be incorrect... see comments

This turned out to be incorrect... this method appeared to work for me because PHP and its ssh2 extension were being used earlier in my code to do actual standalone authentication... and the sftp command was being run later. It was this later piece where the syntax appeared to succeed.

Could not resolve hostname user: No such host is known. It is considering ":" in username which is not the case in FileZilla CLI
