Move files from one directory to another with Paramiko

问题

I have a script that creates and tmp directory on an SFTP server and then puts files in said /tmp once the transfer is complete however I need to move the files from /tmp back one directory to root /. Use Paramiko how would I move the files from one remote directory to another?

Step guide:

Local files -----> Remote Temporary Dir ----> Remote root Dir

Code below if needed:

#!/usr/bin/python

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
#import libraries
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
import paramiko as PM
import os
import datetime

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# Global Variables
# --------------------------------------------------------------------

host = 'host IP address'
port = 22
username = 'Username'
password = '*********'

# Variable Paths

localPath = '/shares/MILKLINK/fromML'
remotePath = '/'
logPath = '/shares/MILKLINK/logs/PPcfg02.log'
SRCfiles = '/shares/MILKLINK/Milklink.cpy'

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Create LOG FILE
# --------------------------------------------------------------------

log = open(logPath, 'a')
log.write(datetime.datetime.now().isoformat()+'\n')

# Creating lockfile

if(os.path.isfile('LockSFTP')):
    log.write("LOCK FILE STILL EXISTS!")
    quit()
else:    
    os.system(">LockSFTP")

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# Remove all files from /formML/ 
# --------------------------------------------------------------------

fileList = os.listdir(localPath)
for fileName in fileList:
    try:
        os.remove(localPath+"/"+fileName)
    except OSError:
        log.write("%s could not be deleted\n" % fileName)

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Create SFTP CONNECTION
# --------------------------------------------------------------------

log.write("Starting Connection...\n")
# SSH connection
ssh_Connection = PM.Transport((host, port))
ssh_Connection.connect(username = username, password = password)

# Creaat SFTP CLIENT SERVICES
sftp = PM.SFTPClient.from_transport(ssh_Connection) 

log.write("Connection Established...\n")

remoteList = sftp.listdir(remotePath)
fileList = os.listdir(SRCfiles)
try:
    sftp.chdir(remotePath+'/tmp')
except IOError:
    sftp.mkdir(remotePath+'/tmp')
    sftp.chdir(remotePath+'/tmp')

for fileName in fileList:
    if 'comphaulier.asc' not in remoteList:
        if 'Last' in fileName:
            continue
        else:
            sftp.put(SRCfiles+'/'+fileName, remotePath+'/tmp/'+fileName)

        log.write(fileName+" Transferred\n")
    else:
        log.write("Files Still Exist\n")
        log.close()
        quit()

checkList = sftp.listdir(remotePath)

if len(checkList) == 7:
    sftp.put(SRCfiles+'/LastFile.lst', remotePath+'/LastFile.lst')
    log.write("LastFile.lst Transferred\n")
else:
    log.write("Not all files transferred!!!\n")
    quit()

sftp.close()
ssh_Connection.close()

os.system("rm LockSFTP")

回答1:

Use the sftp.rename:

sftp.rename(remotePath+'/tmp/'+fileName, remotePath+fileName)

Note that some SFTP servers fail the request, if the source and target directories are on different file systems.

If you need to move set of files from one folder to another, see:
