Suppressing Output of Paramiko SSHClient Class

When I call the connect function of the Paramiko SSHClient class it outputs some log data about establishing the connection, which I would like to suppress. Is there a way to do this either through Paramiko itself, or python in general? Thanks in advance ...

Running interactive commands in Paramiko

Hi, I'm trying to run an interactive command through paramiko. The cmd execution tries to prompt for a password but I do not know how to supply the password through paramiko's exec_command and the execution hangs. Is there a way to send values to the terminal if a cmd execution expects input interactively? ssh = paramiko.SSHClient...

Why does Paramiko hang if you use it while loading a module?!

Put the following into a file hello.py (and easy_install paramiko if you haven't got it): hostname,username,password='fill','these','in' import paramiko c = paramiko.SSHClient() c.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy()) c.connect(hostname=hostname, username=username, password=password) i,o,e = c.exec_command('ls /') print(...

Long-running ssh commands in python paramiko module (and how to end them).

I want to run a tail -f logfile command on a remote machine using python's paramiko module.

Check whether a path exists on a remote host using paramiko

Paramiko's SFTPClient apparently does not have an exists method. This is my current implementation: def rexists(sftp, path): """os.path.exists for paramiko's SCP object """ try: sftp.stat(path) except IOError, e: if 'No such file' in str(e): return False raise else: return ...

Where do I find the Python Crypto package when installing Paramiko on windows?

I am trying to SFTP from Python running on windows and installed Paramiko as was recommended here. Unfortunately, it asks for Crypto.Util.randpool so I need to install the Crypto package. I found RPMS for Linux, but can't find anything or source code for windows. The readme for Paramiko states: pycrypto compiled for Win32 can be downloa...

get_allowed_auths() in paramiko

Hi all, I am trying to get supported auth methods from a running SSH server in Python. I found this method in the ServerInterface class in Paramiko but I can't understand if it is usable in a simple client-like snippet of code (I am writing something that accomplish in ONLY this task). Anyone can suggest me some links with examples, ot...

paramiko library slow loading?

I've got a python script that runs just fine on my local machine, but as soon as I put it on our server, it dies horribly. It takes nearly two minutes to run, and utilizes 100% cpu while it's doing it. I've narrowed it down to the paramiko library (it doesn't do it when I comment that out), but now I'm stumped. How is my server configur...

Nested SSH session with Paramiko.

I'm rewriting a Bash script I wrote into Python. The crux of that script was ssh -t first.com "ssh second.com very_remote_command" I'm having a problem with the nested authentication with paramiko. I wasn't able to find any examples dealing with my precise situation, but I was able to find examples with sudo on a remote host. The fir...

Does Paramiko support non-secure telnet and ftp instead of just SSH and SFTP?

I'm looking at existing python code that heavily uses Paramiko to do SSH and FTP. I need to allow the same code to work with some hosts that do not support a secure connection and over which I have no control. Is there a quick and easy way to do it via Paramiko, or do I need to step back, create some abstraction that supports both para...

'Invalid Key' error from Paramiko

I'm trying to set up Fabric for deploying my Python web application and Paramiko is barfing on my private RSA key. I had been using my key successfully for 6 months, so I know it's good. In case having a passphrase was the problem, I just made a new key with no passphrase and still get the error. Help? ...

Paramiko equvalent of pipline controls and input/output pipes

I need a method of paramiko based file transfer with a lightweight SSH2 server (dropbear) which has no support for SCP or SFTP. Is there a way of achieving a cat and redirect style file transfer, such as: ssh server "cat remote_file" > local_file with paramiko channels? Can paramiko.Transport.open_channel() or Message() do the job? I...

How do I launch background jobs w/ paramiko?

Here is my scenario: I am trying to automate some tasks using Paramiko. The tasks need to be started in this order (using the notation (host, task)): (A, 1), (B, 2), (C, 2), (A,3), (B,3) -- essentially starting servers and clients for some testing in the correct order. Further, because in the tests networking may get mucked up, and becau...

How do I emulate keyboard-interactive ssh login with paramiko?

I'm trying to automate a ssh connection and control of a network device, that for some reason, only allows keyboard-interactive authentication. It doesn't appear that paramiko supports this by default or with the standard sshclient() object. I've spent the past couple of days going through the paramiko documentation trying to figure th...

Problem originating SSH tunnels from python

The object is to set up n number of ssh tunnels between satellite servers and a centralized registry database. I have already set up public key authentication between my servers so they just log right in without password prompts. Now what ? I've tried Paramiko. It seems decent but gets pretty complicated just to set up a basic tunnel, al...

How to send EOF to stdin in paramiko?

I would like to execute some program through ssh and redirect its input from a file. The behaviour of the following code: channel.exec_command('cat') with open('mumu', 'r') as f: text = f.read() nbytes = 0 while nbytes < len(text): sent = channel.send(text[nbytes:]) if sent == 0: break nby...

Why does Fabric display the disconnect from server message for almost 2 minutes?

Fabric displays Disconnecting from username@server... done. for almost 2 minutes prior to showing a new command prompt whenever I issue a fab command. This problem exists when using Fabric commands issued to both an internal server and a Rackspace cloud server. Below I've included the auth.log from the server, and I didn't see anything ...
