pysftp

A simple interface to SFTP. The module offers high level abstractions and task based routines to handle your SFTP needs. Checkout the Cook Book, in the docs, to see what pysftp can do for you.

Example

import pysftp

with pysftp.Connection('hostname', username='me', password='secret') as sftp:
    with sftp.cd('public'):             # temporarily chdir to public
        sftp.put('/my/local/filename')  # upload file to public/ on remote
        sftp.get('remote_file')         # get a remote file

import pysftp
import logging

logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger("paramiko").setLevel(logging.INFO)

hostname = "192.168.0.1"
username = "User1"
password = "PasswordTest1234!"
pkPath = "/mnt/c/temp/id_rsa"
pkPass = "S6cretPasS"

cnopts = pysftp.CnOpts()
cnopts.log = True            # Activate logging
cnopts.hostkeys = None       # Ignore KnownHost
cnopts.server_extensions = {"server-sig-algs": "rsa-sha2-256, ssh-rsa"} # override server extensions
with pysftp.Connection(
    host=hostname,           # set remote Hostname
    username=username,       # set Username
    password=password,       # set Password
    private_key=pkPath,      # set path to the private key
    private_key_pass=pkPass, # set passphrase of the private key 
    cnopts=cnopts,           # set connection Options
) as sftp:
    sftp.put("/tmp/test.tar.gz", "TEMP/test/test2.tar.gz") # Upload file
    print(sftp.listdir())    # List remote directories
    sftp.close()             # Close Connection

import pysftp
import logging

logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger("paramiko").setLevel(logging.INFO)

hostname = "192.168.0.1"
username = "User1"
password = "PasswordTest1234!"
myProxyHost = "myproxy.corp.local"
myProxyPort = 3128

cnopts = pysftp.CnOpts()
cnopts.log = True            # Activate logging
cnopts.hostkeys = None       # Ignore KnownHost
with pysftp.Connection(
    host=hostname,           # set remote Hostname
    username=username,       # set Username
    password=password,       # set Password
    proxyHost=myProxyHost,   # set proxy hostname
    proxyPort=myProxyPort,   # set proxy port
    cnopts=cnopts,           # set connection Options
) as sftp:
    print(sftp.listdir())    # List remote directories
    sftp.close()             # Close Connection
