Advanced SFTP functions based on Paramiko
Project description
sftputil
Python High-level SFTP client library
Documentation is available on readthedocs, or in docs/index.md.
Description
sftputil is Python library to transfer files using SFTP. At this point only
the API is available, but a command line will probably be added in the future.
Why this package?
- Paramiko provides a SFTP client but it does not contain many methods. It is alright if one only needs simple get/put/list commands. But it is not enough for more complex operations.
- pySFTP would have been the solution, but it has not been updated since 2016 (at the time of this writing). It is a dead project and cannot be improved. It does not manage the last SSH key algorithms.
Thus this new project. The initial reason was also that I needed a rsync-like
command through SFTP in Python scripts.
Installation
Available on pypi.
pip install sftputil
