How to fetch sizes of all SFTP files in a directory through Paramiko

Question

import paramiko
from socket import error as socket_error
import os 
server =[\'10.10.0.1\',\'10.10.0.2\']
path=\'/home/test/\'
for hostname in server:
    try:

SFTPClient.listdir returns file names only, not a full path. So to use the filename in another API, you have to add a path:

for i in sftp.listdir(path):
    info = sftp.stat(path + "/" + i)
    print info.st_size     

---

Though that's inefficient. Paramiko knows the size already, you are just throwing the information away by using SFTPClient.listdir instead of SFTPClient.listdir_attr (listdir calls listdir_attr internally).

for i in sftp.listdir_attr(path):
    print i.st_size
