[Tutor] sftp get single file

[Johan Geldenhuys]

Hi all,
This topic is old, but I have a similar issue and I know everybody will say I should use piramiko, but it is not that simple.

The device I have to run my python scripts on is a simple, small, scaled down version of Suse linux and I can't install other packages like piramiko.
All the files I need to use that is not part of Python 2.7 must be included in my package.

With the above in mind, what can I use to open SFTP to a server and transfer a file?

Thanks

Johan

You don't need glob if you know in advance what the filename is. Print
example below.

---
import time

today = time.localtime()
datestr = time.strftime("%Y%m%d",today)
ext = ".tab"

print datestr + ext
