A friendly face on SFTP

Project description

A simple interface to SFTP. The module offers high level abstractions and task based routines to handle your SFTP needs. Checkout the Cook Book, in the docs, to see what pysftp can do for you.

Example

import pysftp

with pysftp.Connection('hostname', username='me', password='secret') as sftp:
    with sftp.cd('public'):             # temporarily chdir to public
        sftp.put('/my/local/filename')  # upload file to public/ on remote
        sftp.get('remote_file')         # get a remote file

Supports

Tested on Python 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4

Build Status

Change Log

  • 0.2.9 (current, released 2016-07-04)

    • bugfix: correctly implement hostcheck. Now, be default pysftp will verify the host. See pysftp.CnOpts.hostkeys

    • added pysftp.Connection.remote_server_key - used to retrieve the remote hosts server key.

    • added support for enabling compression, compression (J. Kruth)

    • added .active_compression, to return the active local and remote compression settings as a tuple

    • fixed an unwanted logging side-effect, after you set logging, it would remain, even if you closed the .Connection and couldn’t be changed to something else. Now when Connection closes, any logging handlers are closed and can be changed to something else upon the next .Connection

    • moved log parameter of Connection to the new CnOpts connection options object, deprecated the existing log parameter, will be removed in 0.3.0

    • modified pysftp.Conection.walktree to always use posixpath conventions when walking a remote directory per the latest draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-13.txt. Issue encountered with windows clients (#60)

    • modified pysftp.reparent to handle mis-matched pathing, i.e. windows -> posix, better (#61)

  • 0.2.8 (released 2014-05-28)

    • created pysftp.walktree for walking local directories

    • added param recurse to .pysftp.Connection.walktree to allow it to do another trick

    • created .put_d to put the contents of a local directory to a remote one

    • created a context manager chdir method, pysftp.Connection.cd

    • created .put_r to recursively put the contents of a local directory to a remote one

    • fixed a bug with .st_mode_to_int on py3 (#52)

    • .listdir_attr now returns a sorted list, sorted on filename

    • created pysftp.cd with-context version of os.chdir for local directories

    • created docs, cookbook to show off some of the notable features of pysftp

  • 0.2.7 (released 2014-05-24)

    • created pysftp.Connection.walktree, recursively walk, depth first, a remote directory structure. Used as the base of .get_r. See tests/test_walktree.py for examples.

    • added .unlink as synonym for .remove

    • added .normalize

    • created .get_r to recursively copy remote directories to a local path

    • created .pwd to return the current working directory

    • created .cwd as synonym for .chdir

    • modified .listdir to return a sorted list instead of an arbitrary one

    • added .readlink, always returns an absolute path

    • created .get_d to copy the remote directory to a local path (non-recursive)

    • added .timeout to set the read/write timeout of the underlying channel for pending read/write ops

    • added .listdir_attr, wrapper for paramiko method

    • added .truncate, method returns the new file size

    • improved DRY’ness of test suite

  • 0.2.6 (released 2014-05-17)

    • added preserve_mtime parameter to .put, optionally updates the remote file’s st_mtime to match the local file.

    • added preserve_mtime parameter to .get, optionally updates the local file’s st_mtime to match the remote file

    • added .exists and .lexists, use .stat and .lstat respectively

    • added .symlink

    • created .isdir, .isfile, .makedirs

    • added .chmod

    • added .chown

    • added .sftp_client which exposes underlying, active SFTPClient object for advance use

  • 0.2.5 (released 2014-05-15)

    • added ciphers parameter to .Connection object (D. Reilly)

    • added .active_ciphers to return local and remote cipher in use

    • added .security_options, where you can get available ciphers, among other information

    • enhanced logging, and added documentation and tests

  • 0.2.4 (released 2014-05-13)

    • .Connection can be used in a with statement

    • add .remove

    • added support for callback and confirm params to .put

    • added support for callback on .get

    • added support for .open

    • fixed password bug and now differentiates between an empty string and None

    • added support for paramiko.AgentKey to be passed in as the private_key for Connection

    • added support for .mkdir

    • added support for .rmdir

    • added support for .stat and .lstat

    • added helper function, .st_mode_to_int,to convert the st_mode value back into a common integer representation

    • added .getfo

    • added .putfo

  • 0.2.3 (released 2014-05-10)

    • host code on pypi to keep pip happy

    • move code to bitbucket

    • enhance testing

    • README.rst and LICENSE named properly

    • cleaner error handling

  • 0.2.2

    • additions

      • chdir(self, path) - change the current working directory on the remote
