sftp file upload with python - avoiding file renaming

Question

I want to create a python script that enables me to upload files in a specific folder via sftp. The directories are allways the same. This is what I came up with:

import pysftp
import os
import shutil

cnopts = pysftp.CnOpts(knownhosts='~/.ssh/authorized_keys')
cnopts.hostkeys = None


host = "xxx"
password = "xxx"
username = "xxx"

srv = pysftp.Connection(host, username=username, password=password, cnopts=cnopts)

# src_files = os.listdir("C:/Users/uploads")
remotepath = "/home/work"
localpath = "C:/Users/uploads"
# with srv.cd('/home/work'):  # chdir to work
with srv.cd():
    srv.chdir('schedule')
    srv.put_d(localpath, remotepath)

print('Upload done')
srv.close()

Whats happening is that all files get transfered to the folder /home/work/schedule however they are named like this "work.\\file name". But I want the file names to be identical. I tried to exclude the remotepath replacing it with '' but still the files are being renamed to '\\.\\file name' What is the problem here?

As you can see I tried to work with os and shutil but that didnt work out for me. So its still in the code but not necessary.

Thank you for your input

Answer 1

have you try:

with srv.cd(remotepath):
    srv.put_d(localpath, 'schedule')
