Directory transfers with Paramiko

Question

How do you use Paramiko to transfer complete directories? I\'m trying to use:

sftp.put(\"/Folder1\",\"/Folder2\")

which is giving me this e

Answer 1

As far as I know, Paramiko does not support recursive file upload. However, I have found a solution for recursive upload using Paramiko here. Follows an excerpt of their recursive upload function:

   def _send_recursive(self, files):
        for base in files:
            lastdir = base
            for root, dirs, fls in os.walk(base):
                # pop back out to the next dir in the walk
                while lastdir != os.path.commonprefix([lastdir, root]):
                    self._send_popd()
                    lastdir = os.path.split(lastdir)[0]
                self._send_pushd(root)
                lastdir = root
                self._send_files([os.path.join(root, f) for f in fls])

You may try to either use their function SCPClient.put invoking the above function for recursive upload or implement it on your own.
