I wrote a simple code to upload a file to a SFTP server in Python. I am using Python 2.7.
import pysftp
srv = pysftp.Connection(host="www.destination.com", username="root",
password="password",log="./temp/pysftp.log")
srv.cd('public') #chdir to public
srv.put('C:\Users\XXX\Dropbox\test.txt') #upload file to nodejs/
# Closes the connection
srv.close()
The file did not appear on the server. However, no error message appeared. What is wrong with the code?
I have enabled logging. I discovered that the file is uploaded to the root folder and not under public
folder. Seems like srv.cd('public')
did not work.
I found the answer to my own question.
import pysftp
srv = pysftp.Connection(host="www.destination.com", username="root",
password="password",log="./temp/pysftp.log")
with srv.cd('public'): #chdir to public
srv.put('C:\Users\XXX\Dropbox\test.txt') #upload file to nodejs/
# Closes the connection
srv.close()
Put the srv.put
inside with srv.cd
import pysftp
with pysftp.Connection(host="www.destination.com", username="root",
password="password",log="./temp/pysftp.log") as sftp:
sftp.cwd('/root/public') # The full path
sftp.put('C:\Users\XXX\Dropbox\test.txt') # Upload the file
No sftp.close()
is needed, because the connection is closed automatically at the end of the with-block
I did a minor change with cd
to cwd
Syntax -
# sftp.put('/my/local/filename') # upload file to public/ on remote
# sftp.get('remote_file') # get a remote file
With as a context manager will close the connection. Explicitly using srv.close() is not required
Do not use pysftp it's dead. Use Paramiko directly. See also pysftp vs. Paramiko .
The code with Paramiko will be pretty much the same, except for the initialization part.
import paramiko
with paramiko.SSHClient() as ssh:
ssh.load_system_host_keys()
ssh.connect(host, username=username, password=password)
sftp = ssh.open_sftp()
sftp.chdir('public')
sftp.put('C:\Users\XXX\Dropbox\test.txt', 'test.txt')
(to answer the literal OP's question, the key point here is that pysftp Connection.cd
works as a context manager, so it's effect is discarded without with
statement, while Paramiko SFTPClient.chdir
does not).
