Paramiko's SSHClient with SFTP

Question

How I can make SFTP transport through SSHClient on the remote server? I have a local host and two remote hosts. Remote hosts are backup server and web server. I need to find on backup server necessary backup file and put it on web server over SFTP. How can I make Paramiko's SFTP transport work with Paramiko's SSHClient?

Answer 1

paramiko.SFTPClient

Example:

import paramiko
paramiko.util.log_to_file('/tmp/paramiko.log')

# Open a transport

host = "example.com"
port = 22
transport = paramiko.Transport((host, port))

# Auth

password = "foo"
username = "bar"
transport.connect(username = username, password = password)

# Go!

sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(transport)

# Download

filepath = '/etc/passwd'
localpath = '/home/remotepasswd'
sftp.get(filepath, localpath)

# Upload

filepath = '/home/foo.jpg'
localpath = '/home/pony.jpg'
sftp.put(localpath, filepath)

# Close

sftp.close()
transport.close()
