SFTPUID="<uid>"
SFTPPWD="<pwd>"
SFTPSVR="<server>"
LOCATION="/home/notesbit/test" # change to correct position
XMLFILE="${LOCATION}/$1" # It should be XMLFILE="${LOCATION}/$1"
#echo "XMLFILE=${XMLFILE}" #Test to see the filename
DATLIST=`grep -i "\.dat" ${XMLFILE} ‘ sed -e ‘s/<[^>]*//g‘ ‘ sed ’s/>//g’` # This removes xml tags and gets only the *.dat file in a list
for filename in ${DATLIST} # List is read in loop
do
sftp -b -oPort=22 ${SFTPUID}@${SFTPSVR} << EOF
put $filename
echo $? # this gives return status
quit
EOF
done

will install the utility. You can modify the following script suitably to replace
spawn sftp -b batchfile user@ipaddress
expect "password:"
