File upload through SFTP (Paramiko) in Python gives IOError: Failure

Question

Aim: I am trying to use SFTP through Paramiko in Python to upload files on server pc.

What I\'ve done: To test that functionality, I am using my localhost (127.0.0.

Answer 1

The second argument of SFTPClient.put (remotepath) is path to a file, not a folder.

So use file_name instead of '.':

ftp_client.put(local_path, file_name)

... assuming you are already in remote_path, as you call .chdir earlier.

To avoid a need for .chdir, you can use an absolute path:

ftp_client.put(local_path, remote_path + '/' + file_name)
