I'm trying to use python to sftp a file, and the code works great in the interactive shell -- even pasting it in all at once.
When I try to import the file (just to compile it), the code hangs with no exceptions or obvious errors.
How do I get the code to compile, or does someone have working code that accomplishes sftp by some other method?
This code hangs right at the ssh.connect() statement:
""" ProblemDemo.py Chopped down from the paramiko demo file. This code works in the shell but hangs when I try to import it! """ from time import sleep import os import paramiko sOutputFilename = "redacted.htm" #-- The payload file hostname = "redacted.com" ####-- WARNING! Embedded passwords! Remove ASAP. sUsername = "redacted" sPassword = "redacted" sTargetDir = "redacted" #-- Get host key, if we know one. hostkeytype = None hostkey = None host_keys = {} try: host_keys = paramiko.util.load_host_keys(os.path.expanduser('~/.ssh/known_hosts')) except IOError: try: # try ~/ssh/ too, because windows can't have a folder named ~/.ssh/ host_keys = paramiko.util.load_host_keys(os.path.expanduser('~/ssh/known_hosts')) except IOError: print '*** Unable to open host keys file' host_keys = {} if host_keys.has_key(hostname): hostkeytype = host_keys[hostname].keys()[0] hostkey = host_keys[hostname][hostkeytype] print 'Using host key of type %s' % hostkeytype ssh = paramiko.Transport((hostname, 22)) ssh.connect(username=sUsername, password=sPassword, hostkey=hostkey) sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(ssh) sftp.chdir (sTargetDir) sftp.put (sOutputFilename, sOutputFilename) ssh.close()
