Copy file from remote dir to remote sub directory using Paramiko

How to copy a file in a remote server /maindir/fil1.txt to a sub directory /maindir/subdir/file1.txt. I have the SFTP implemented using paramiko. But it always check for the local path to copy from .

filename_full_path='/maindir/fil1.txt'
destfilename_full_path='/maindir/subdir/file1.txt'
sftp.put(filename_full_path, destfilename_full_path)

How to tell SFTP that the local path is also in remote host?

Solution

  • You can try in the below way

       a=paramiko.SSHClient()
   a.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
   a.connect('ip',username='user',password='passw')
   stdin, stdout, stderr = a.exec_command("cp /sourc/file /target/file")
