Python module paramiko cannot connect as paramiko.Tranport((host,port)).connect(username = username, password = password)

Question

This is an example which works fine on friend's computer:

import paramiko

host = "157.178.35.134"
port = 222
username = "stackoverflow"
password = "e2fghK3"

transport = paramiko.Transport((host, port))

transport.connect(username = username, password = password)

sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(transport)

import sys
path = './file.testy'    #server
localpath = '/home/iwtu/test' 
sftp.put(localpath, path)

sftp.close()
transport.close()
print 'Upload done.' 

However I have the following problem.

>>> import paramiko

>>> t.connect(username = username, password = password)

        raise e
    EOFError

I have googled a lot of hours, tried different version (Arch Linux 64-bit/Windows 7 64-bit, python 2.7 32/64-bit, python 2.6 32-bit, paramiko 1.7.6, pycrypto 2.0.1/2.1/2.2 but nothing helped. I want to program a simple sfpt client for automatic downloading and deleting files but I am really baffled. If anyone could help me I would be very grateful. Thanks.

Can you try this and let me know how it goes:

ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect("157.178.35.13", username="stackoverflow", password="e2fghK3")
ftp=ssh.open_sftp()
path = './file.testy'    #server
localpath = '/home/iwtu/test' 
ftp.put(localpath, path)
ftp.close()

Is your friend running it on a Linux box? Are you running it on a Windows machine?
