cd $SOURCE_PATH
echo '$SOURCE_PATH' 

for i in DEES-* ; do
s=`echo $i | cut -d "-" -f3`
echo $s 
result=$(grep -h $s $SOURCE_PATH/csss_file*.txt)
dest_path=`echo $result | cut -d "|" -f2`

WHAT exactly is not working? Please be very specific, e.g. contents of variables, directories, line no. that works vs line no that doesn't, error messages.
By sheer looking at it, I can't find anything obvious.

sftp cannot take password as a parameter. It -- and nearly all other login methods such as ssh, scp, su and sudo -- are specifically designed to prevent you from doing this because it's an extremely bad idea.

You will need to set up keys.

You don't.

It's designed so you can't.

Even if it could, it'd be an extremely bad idea. It's preventing you from doing this as a security feature. Plaintext passwords are almost impossible to keep safe!

You need to investigate keys, as I suggested earlier.
