Laura's already answered your actual question. But I would recommend
using public key login rather than keying in a password; it's a lot
more secure, as it means you don't have to embed a password in your
source code (or at very best, on your hard disk in some other readable
and decryptable way). It also simplifies the transaction
significantly.
