I’m pretty sure this must be a bug, yeah. I looked quickly over the code, it looks like the glob is causing a `listdir` call to be run without sufficient priveleges which is probably why you’re getting the permission denied. I’d guess this is also what happens when you try to `get` the directory itself (this is swallowed by fabric inside a `ftp.walk` function).
I’ll comment what I found on your github issue. For now, I suggest you try the workaround as I don’t know when this can be investigated further in fabric.

When I do a get operation a sudo user with root privs, I can get a single file that is root read-only such as /etc/shadow. I can also get world-readable directories that are world readable. However, if I try to retrieve an entire directory that is root read-only, I get a null result returned from get. Here is the line of code that causes the issue. I have tried this with both temp_dir set to a /tmp/subdir and not setting temp_dir at all. getresult = get(remote_path=self.getfile, local_path=os.path.join(self.output_path, subdir), use_sudo=True, temp_dir=self.dirname) values: localpath: './folder' , remotepath: '/root', temp_dir: '/tmp/DkoK8aMM' returned getresult value: '[]' If I retrieve folder /root/* with the glob instead, I get this error: Fatal error: get() encountered an exception while downloading '/root/*' Underlying exception: Permission denied This only happens on root read-only directories and I am positive my sudo is set up correctly as I can run remote commands such as 'id' and I see it is as root. user is in the wheel group. and like I said I can get root read-only single files without an issue; only directories are problematic. Is this a bug? I suppose I could do a workaround by copying files manually to a tmp directory and then doing a chown and getting them but I thought the temp_dir option was supposed to do this for me. _______________________________________________ Fab-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fab-user -- Vennlig hilsen, Robin Kåveland Hansen
