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.

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.
