A simple interface to SFTP. The module offers high level abstractions and task based routines to handle your SFTP needs. Checkout the Cook Book, in the docs, to see what pysftp can do for you.
Added auto_add_key:
based on verify-host-key-with-pysftp, use-paramiko-autoaddpolicy-with-pysftp
Do not set cnopts.hostkeys = None (as the most upvoted answer shows), unless you do not care about security. You lose a protection >against Man-in-the-middle attacks by doing so.'
Though for an absolute security, you should not retrieve the host key remotely, as you cannot be sure, if you are not being attacked already.
Thanks to Martin Prikryl
auto_add_key adds the key to knownhosts if the host key does not exist.
import pysftp
with pysftp.Connection('hostname', username='me', password='secret', auto_add_key=True) as sftp:
with sftp.cd('public'): # temporarily chdir to public
sftp.put('/my/local/filename') # upload file to public/ on remote
sftp.get('remote_file') # get a remote fileTested on Python 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4
