I am trying to convert older code that uses ftplib as the endpoint has switched
to sftp only.
I am using the pysftp wrapper around paramiko.
The following script fails
def main():
import pysftp
with pysftp.Connection('ftp.remote.com', username='me', password='xxxxxx')
as sftp:
print('top level')
print(sftp.listdir())
print(sftp.normalize(u'XXXX'))
print('direct list of XXXX')
print(sftp.listdir(u'XXXX'))
with sftp.cd(u'XXXX'):
print(sftp.listdir())
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
when run the program prints [u'XXXX'] and then fails at the normalize command.
$ python tsftp.py
top level
[u'XXXX']
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tsftp.py", line 13, in <module>
main()
File "tsftp.py", line 6, in main
print(sftp.normalize(u'XXXX'))
File "/home/rptlab/devel/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pysftp/__init__.py",
line 640, in normalize

line 894, in _convert_status
raise IOError(errno.ENOENT, text)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file.
I tried other commands, but it seems any attempt to cd to the XXXX directory
fails.
Using sftp in the shell directly I needed to add HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss for
this host.
Any pointers to what the problem could be?
