How can you automate pulling a file from one SFTP server and putting it on another?

Do you have scp or rsync available? These are way more conducive for automation than using sftp.

Also, if you aren't allergic to Python, there's FTP libraries available for scripting this out.

add '-e ssh' to your rsync command to have it use SSH.

We use a program called RoboFTP. Works perfectly.

You should be able to write a powershell script and use the send-ftp function. This should get you started, for doing sweeps of directories look at his later posts. I use send-ftp in internally but I wouldn't send it across the wire without without sftp or ftps. Then just set it as a scheduled task. http://geekswithblogs.net/Lance/archive/2006/11/09/netcmdlets_part_1_powershell_cmdlet_for_ftp.aspx
