Hello,
I'm trying to write a script to automate coping files to remote
hosts. But when I use SCP it does not work, but if I use SSH it works
file. Has anyone gotten SCP to work using AppleScript. Oh yea, I
really want to avoid using ssh keys for this solution.

Now, it could perhaps be possible to achieve want you want by using
GUI Scripting.
This would have the advantage to stay very close of your original
idea: instead of using 'do script' to enter the password, you would
just simulate keystrokes.

Having found some time to check my suggestion, it appeared that this
indeed worked for me:
tell application "Terminal"
activate
do script "scp /Users/luttgens/Desktop/test
email@hidden.:/var/tmp"
delay 10
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "terminal"
repeat with c in "mypass"
keystroke c
end repeat
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
And, amusingly (?), replacing the 'do script' line with
do script "ssh ALTi.local."
worked too.
HTH,
Axel
