That does work and is compact while being intelligible. I'm still not getting the file. I thought this would work: if __name__ == "__main__": t = paramiko.Transport((hostname, port)) t.connect(username=username, password=password) sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(t) sftp(remotepath,localpath) t.close() . . . but obviously something is missing. Traceback (most recent call last): File "./scpgetter.py", line 20, in ? sftp(remotepath,localpath) TypeError: 'SFTPClient' object is not callable I tried using the paramiko.SFTP.get method too.
