The obvious answer is use pysftp.
But your subject says you don't want to do that.

So the next option is for you to write your own
version of pysftp, duplicating all the things
the author of that module did.

Of course for a non generic solution you only need
a fraction of the code, and you could use something
like pyexpect or an ssh module to reduce the effort.

I'd advise using the available modules.
But if that really is impossible use the next
level down. Reinventing the wheel is a painful
waste of time that usually only serves to
increase your respect for the inventor of
said wheel.
