pysftp

I need to connect to a SFTP, download the most recent file, then change the file name and load again to the same SFTP folder and delete the 'original name' file. I have done this with FTP with user and password, however in this case, the SFTP has a key file (.ppk). How can set the key file as password? Thank you! import pysftp srv = pysftp.Connection(host="your_FTP_server", username="your_username", password="your_password") # Get the directory and file listing data = srv.listdir() # Closes the connection srv.close() # Prints out the directories and files, line by line for i in data: print i

I'm trying to load (and directly save locally) a .csv file stored on a FTP Server (SFTP protocol). I'm using Python in combination with pysftp library. When I check if the file exists, it returns TRUE. But when trying to load the file, it seems to be empty, whatever I try. How can I get (and store) the file to my local environment? Do I miss something obvious? import pysftp cnopts = pysftp.CnOpts() cnopts.hostkeys = None # Make connection to sFTP with pysftp.Connection(hostname, username=sftp_username, password=sftp_pw, cnopts = cnopts ) as sftp: sftp.isfile('directory/file.csv')) ## TRUE file

This code is not working: def sftp_connection(self): import pysftp connection = pysftp.Connection(self.host, username=self.system_name, private_key=os.path.join(HOME, '.ssh', 'id_rsa')) # in the next lines I try to use AutoAddPolicy client = connection.sftp_client() client.load_host_keys(os.path.expanduser('~/.ssh/known_hosts')) client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.client.AutoAddPolicy) return connection This is the exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/u/src/myapp-glo/myapp_doxis_archiv/tests/test_doxis_archiv.py", line 85, in test_beleg_to_archiv__ftpservercontext

I am using pysftp library's get_r function ( https://pysftp.readthedocs.io/en/release_0.2.9/pysftp.html#pysftp.Connection.get_r ) to get a local copy of a directory structure from sftp server. Is that the correct approach for a situation when the contents of the remote directory have changed and I would like to get only the files that changed since the last time the script was run? The script should be able to sync the remote directory recursively and mirror the state of the remote directory - f.e. with a parameter controlling if the local outdated files (those that are no longer present on
