Not able to navigate to desired folder on remote Linux machine, how do i do that using paramiko?

Question

I am Using Pyhton paramiko and My website server has folder structure like this-

1]dir1
      --dirP
      --dirQ
2]dir2
      --dirA
          --file.sh
            


        

Answer 1

client.exec_command("cmd ...") is just like the command ssh user@host "cmd ..." so

client.exec_command('cd dir2')
client.exec_command('ls')

are just like

ssh user@host 'cd dir2' # this would not affect the following `ls'
ssh user@host 'ls'

. So you need to do like this:

client.exec_command('cd dir2; ls')

which is just like

ssh user@host 'cd dir2; ls'
