how to give password for ssh connection from shell script

[Gavin McDonald]

The solution I came up with for this problem was to use expect.

In my situation, setting up keys was not an option, so I had to
use password authentication.  

You can even use expect to create an interactive ssh session with
autologin, however I have found that certain high-ascii characters
can cause the expect session to hang before going interactive. ymmv.
