The server supports only sftp. Yeah, I could turn on ftp on some server but that would be more work.

I could call it anything, not that I'd want to. Thanks. I kept thinking I could find it using ipython. > So you are trying to upload files that currently exist on the > remote machine from your machine, that is unlikely to work. Yes. That was not the plan though. Heh. > I suspect you probably need to change the listdir() call to use > os.listdir(local_path) instead of stftp.listdir().

But now I have another issue: specifying the remote dir. When I login to the sftp server and type pwd: sftp> pwd Remote working directory: / Is what I see. Also, I don't think I want "join" in the below, do I? Why do I want to "join" the two dirs? As far as I'm concerned, I just want to dump files into the only dir I can reach, which is "/" on the remote host's jail. sftp.get(os.path.join(dir_path, f), f) > > HTH, It did help.
