'put' in SFTP using Paramiko

Question

I\'ve installed and written the following Paramiko which is unable to put the file. It is easily able to \'get\' a file and execute ls commands on it.

Answer 1

This also occurs in 2.0.2 when you try to sftp.mkdir('/exists'):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paramiko/sftp_client.py", line 380, in mkdir
    self._request(CMD_MKDIR, path, attr)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paramiko/sftp_client.py", line 730, in _request
    return self._read_response(num)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paramiko/sftp_client.py", line 781, in _read_response
    self._convert_status(msg)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paramiko/sftp_client.py", line 811, in _convert_status
    raise IOError(text)
IOError: Failure

This was my Python 2.7.9 fix:

try:
    sftp.mkdir(remote_dir)
except IOError:
    logging.debug('%s already exists.', remote_dir)

Answer 2

The solution seemed very funny to me!

source= '/Unzip.sh' 
destination ='/var/mpx/www/http/Unzip.sh'

Just modified the destination path to include the file name as well. Didn't expect some error like this coming from a Python package.
