[Python] paramiko examples

scp_demo.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys, paramiko

if len(sys.argv) < 5:
    print "args missing"
    sys.exit(1)

hostname = sys.argv[1]
password = sys.argv[2]
source = sys.argv[3]
dest = sys.argv[4]

username = "root"
port = 22

try:
    t = paramiko.Transport((hostname, port))
    t.connect(username=username, password=password)
    sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(t)
    sftp.get(source, dest)

finally:
    t.close()

ssh_demo.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys, paramiko

if len(sys.argv) < 4:
    print "args missing"
    sys.exit(1)

hostname = sys.argv[1]
password = sys.argv[2]
command = sys.argv[3]

username = "admin"
port = 22

try:
    client = paramiko.SSHClient()
    client.load_system_host_keys()
    client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.WarningPolicy)
    
    client.connect(hostname, port=port, username=username, password=password)

    stdin, stdout, stderr = client.exec_command(command)
    print stdout.read(),

finally:
    client.close()

line 19 in ssh_demo.py should be client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.WarningPolicy())

How can I connect to a host file using a pem key file like
ssh -i ~/.ssh/mykey.pem [email protected]

Hi Ricardo,

You need to include 'ssh.connect(host, username="", password="", pkey=None, key_filename="")' option providing pem file.

Hi Ricardo,
I want to pass encrypted password to connect method. How can I do that. I could not find the documentation on paramiko site.

Hi kritisingh,
You could use getpass for that: https://pymotw.com/2/getpass/

That is fine with ssh ... but in "pure paramiko" how would you formulate http://docs.paramiko.org/en/2.4/api/sftp.html#paramiko.sftp_client.SFTPClient.listdir ?

How can I ssh to multiple devices

Hey can anyone tell me that, is SSH exploit public key script is available or not,
