I wrote a simple code to upload a file to a sftp server in python. I am using python 2.7
import pysftp
srv = pysftp.Connection(host="www.destination.com", username="root",
password="password",log="./temp/pysftp.log")
srv.cd('public') #chdir to public
srv.put('C:\Users\XXX\Dropbox\test.txt') #upload file to nodejs/
# Closes the connection
srv.close()
The file did not appear on the server. However, no error message appeared. What is wrong with the code?
EDIT: I have enabled logging. I discovered that the file is uploaded to the root folder and not under public folder. Seems like srv.cd('public')
did not work.
I found the answer to my own question.
import pysftp
srv = pysftp.Connection(host="www.destination.com", username="root",
password="password",log="./temp/pysftp.log")
with srv.cd('public'): #chdir to public
srv.put('C:\Users\XXX\Dropbox\test.txt') #upload file to nodejs/
# Closes the connection
srv.close()
Put the srv.put
inside with srv.cd
