Question

Answer 1

I strongly recommend setting up key-based authentication for your system. Then you could use ssh-agent to automate unlocking the key for your program.

Answer 2

Well then just type the scp command in the file and make it executable.

If you're asking how to avoid being prompted for password, I strongly recommend you to use SSH-keys. Here is a really simple tutorial on how to set it up properly.
