gocept.sftpcopy 0.1.1

Copying files save to another machine

SFTPCopy

sftpcopy allows to copy files to or from a remote server – integrates with gocept.filestore. sftpcopy will take files from the new directory, copy them to the remote server and put them into cur on success. Likewise it will download files from the remote server and put them into the new directory for another application to pick it up.

All together this allows quite stable and asynchronous data transfer.

Changes

0.1.1 (2007-11-13)

• Fixed brown back release 0.1 which was not usable at all since there were various files missing in the archive.

TODO

• Documentation

• Tests!

• Interfaces would be nice :)

SFTPCopy

Configure an sftpcopy:

>>> import tempfile
>>> import gocept.filestore
>>> import gocept.sftpcopy
>>> store_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
>>> filestore = gocept.filestore.FileStore(store_dir)
>>> filestore.prepare()
>>> sftp = gocept.sftpcopy.SFTPCopy(
...     'download', filestore,
...     'localhost', 22, 'testuser', 'dummy-password', 'in')

Connecting will not work because the user does not exist:

>>> sftp.connect()
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
AuthenticationException: Authentication failed.

For more tests we’ll need to setup an sftp-server in the test case (via paramiko probably).

Cleanup

>>> import shutil
>>> shutil.rmtree(store_dir)
