How do you use Paramiko to transfer complete directories? I'm trying to use:
sftp.put("/Folder1","/Folder2") which is giving me this error -
Error : [Errno 21] Is a directory
629
Paramiko helps you automate repetitive system administration tasks on remote servers. More advanced Paramiko programs send the lines of a script one at a time. It does this rather than transacting all of a command, such as df or last , synchronously to completion.
readlines() will return the directory that you changed to. Show activity on this post. Well paramiko creates an instance of shell and all the commands that you wish to execute in paramiko have to be given in that instance of shell only. For example: Let us say I have some folder in the directory I am in.
class paramiko.Transport. An SSH Transport attaches to a stream (usually a socket), negotiates an encrypted session, authenticates, and then creates stream tunnels, called Channels, across the session. class paramiko.SSHClient. A high-level representation of a session with an SSH server.
SFTP client object. Used to open an SFTP session across an open SSH Transport and perform remote file operations. Instances of this class may be used as context managers.
You can subclass paramiko.SFTPClient and add the following method to it:
import paramiko import os class MySFTPClient(paramiko.SFTPClient): def put_dir(self, source, target): ''' Uploads the contents of the source directory to the target path. The target directory needs to exists. All subdirectories in source are created under target. ''' for item in os.listdir(source): if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(source, item)): self.put(os.path.join(source, item), '%s/%s' % (target, item)) else: self.mkdir('%s/%s' % (target, item), ignore_existing=True) self.put_dir(os.path.join(source, item), '%s/%s' % (target, item)) def mkdir(self, path, mode=511, ignore_existing=False): ''' Augments mkdir by adding an option to not fail if the folder exists ''' try: super(MySFTPClient, self).mkdir(path, mode) except IOError: if ignore_existing: pass else: raise To use it:
transport = paramiko.Transport((HOST, PORT)) transport.connect(username=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD) sftp = MySFTPClient.from_transport(transport) sftp.mkdir(target_path, ignore_existing=True) sftp.put_dir(source_path, target_path) sftp.close() If you love us?
