I had a bad experience with pySSH. It only works (with a patch) on Linux. I
don't know about twisted but maybe it is overkill. I simply wanted to
transfer files from my laptop running windows to my desktop running linux.
In this case the simplest way to do is to download (for free) putty
ans use soomething like

os.system('pscp -pw %s %s %s' % (password,filename,hostname))

pscp (Putty secure copy) can also copy directories recursively with
the -r option. It is really a nice little program for simple things.
