You can see below what I used (I only used the password of the user of
the NAS).

julien@julien-Latitude-E7440:~$ sftp Julien@192.168.10.3
Julien@192.168.10.3's password: 
Connected to 192.168.10.3.

I use to use it in my backup script. But I didn't during my command
line trials with my NAS. When I use the FTP_PASSWORD variable, it
works. Thanks for pointing this!

OK. Thanks for the information.

If this can help someone, I had to add the lines below at the
beginning of my script (as it is in in my user home directory) in order
for it to work (thanks to an old message in this mailing list).

HOME=/home/julien
export PATH HOME

Best regards,
Julien
