Your going to have to read up on it. Download the source here;
http://github.com/robey/paramiko/downloads
Then look at the demos folder where you will see an example for sftp like;
# now, connect and use paramiko Transport to negotiate SSH2 across the 
connection
try:
     t = paramiko.Transport((hostname, port))
     t.connect(username=username, password=password, hostkey=hostkey)
     sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(t)
