The best source of info that helped me as to how to authenticate without a password is here: http://www.jscape.com/blog/setting-up-sftp-public-key-authentication-command-line

The commands in the input file are only 'dir' and 'bye'. The grep in the script (for 'IB') is just pulling out one of the subdirectories/folders that show up in stdout when the 'dir' command is executed.

The user sftpMonitor does not need to be created on LTM, just the SFTP server. The public key is attached to that username in the servers' user profile (details in link on 1)
