Python Paramiko Examples
Connecting to a remote machine via SSH:
Transferring a file to a remote machine via SFTP:
Executing multiple commands on a remote machine:
These examples demonstrate how you can use Paramiko to connect to a remote machine, execute commands, transfer files, and manage remote servers. Note that in each example, you need to first establish a connection to the remote machine using the connect()
method and provide the necessary credentials.
Using SSH keys for authentication:
Handling SSH exceptions:
Using SSH tunnels for secure communication:
These examples demonstrate some advanced features of Paramiko, such as using SSH keys for authentication, handling SSH exceptions, and creating SSH tunnels for secure communication. With Paramiko, you have a powerful tool for managing remote machines in Python.
Setting up a port forwarding tunnel:
This example shows how to set up a port forwarding tunnel using the open_channel()
method of the Paramiko Transport
object.
Creating an SFTP client:
This example shows how to create an SFTP client using the open_sftp()
method of the Paramiko SSHClient
object, and use it to list the contents of a remote directory and download a file.
Using Paramiko with context managers:
This example demonstrates how to use the Paramiko library with context managers to ensure that resources such as SSH connections and SFTP clients are properly closed after use.
These examples show some additional use cases for Paramiko, such as setting up port forwarding tunnels, creating SFTP clients, and using context managers for resource management. With Paramiko, you have a flexible and powerful tool for managing remote machines in Python.
Uploading a local file to a remote server using SFTP:
This example shows how to use SFTP to upload a local file to a remote server using Paramiko's put()
method.
Running multiple commands on a remote server:
This example shows how to execute multiple commands on a remote server using Paramiko's exec_command()
method.
Copying a file between two remote servers:
This example shows how to copy a file between two remote servers using Paramiko's SFTP functionality.
These examples demonstrate some additional use cases for Paramiko, such as uploading files using SFTP, running multiple commands on a remote server, and copying files between remote servers. With Paramiko, you have a powerful tool for managing remote machines in Python.
Using SSH keys for authentication:
This example shows how to use an SSH key for authentication when connecting to a remote server using Paramiko's connect()
method.
Handling errors:
This example shows how to handle errors when connecting to a remote server or executing commands using Paramiko. It demonstrates how to catch and handle specific exceptions, such as AuthenticationException
and SSHException
, and how to use a finally
block to ensure that resources are properly closed even if an error occurs.
Using Paramiko in a threaded application:
This example shows how to use Paramiko in a threaded application, where multiple threads connect to remote servers and execute commands. It demonstrates how to create a separate SSH connection in each thread, to ensure that connections are properly isolated and managed.
These examples show some additional use cases for Paramiko, such as using SSH keys for authentication, handling errors, and using Paramiko in a threaded application. With Paramiko, you have a powerful and flexible tool for managing remote machines in Python.
