SSH Paramiko命令未更改远程服务器中的目录

Question

I am trying to change the directory to /etc/init.d using SSH paramiko module and cd command. It is not changing the directory. It is at default directory 'root' after logged in to the server

def StopAll(path,IP,ROOT,PASSWD):
    ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
    ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
    ssh.connect('%s'%IP, username='%s'%ROOT,password='%s'%PASSWD)
    stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command("cd /etc/init.d")
    stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command("pwd")
    print stdout.read().strip()

Output : ./Installation.py conf/Input.conf

/root

Please tell me where is the problem in code .

Answer 1

you need to grab the sftp object and call cd on that:

sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(ssh)

then

sftp.cd(path)

to perform the cd remotely
