Ok, you are now making a string.

Like Kent wrote the datestr can include other characters. So I would
try "/%Y%m%d.tab".

paramiko still can not find the file.

Yes.

You probably mean os.path.join(), you can use it but imho it is
overkill in your case. Just make sure you get the full path to the
file in your remotepath.
