Description:
Basically, OpenSSH's clients are having a great problem: they don't have noninteractive interfaces. What it means, you have to use the command line for them, you can't integrate them to apps. And for most users, unfortunately, the command line sucks. That's why sshpass were invented. It enables people to use SSH without having to type in a terminal window. NOTE: I DIDN'T WRITE THIS. IDK WHO WROTE THIS, just found on the net and ported to iPhone, as this was the only reasonable solution to provide SFTP capabilities for MyFile.
