I am in need of python sftp client to download files from a sftp server. I started to use Paramiko. Small files in KB works well but however when I try to download 600 MB of file, it hangs indefinitely after downloading 20 MB of file. Unable to figure out what the issue is. Increasing the window size did not solve either. Any help would be much appreciated!
host = config.getsafe(section, "host")
username = config.getsafe(section, "username")
port = config.getsafe(section, "port")
remote_dir = config.getsafe(section, "remote_dir")
download_dir = config.getsafe(section, "download_dir")
archive_dir = config.getsafe(section, "archive_dir") if config.has_option(section, "archive_dir") else \
None
password = config.getsafe(section, "password") if config.has_option(section, "password") else None
file_pattern = config.getsafe(section, "file_pattern") if config.has_option(section, "file_pattern") \
else "*"
passphrase = config.getsafe(section, "passphrase") if config.has_option(section, "passphrase") else None
gnupg_home = config.getsafe(section, "gnupg_home") if config.has_option(section, "gnupg_home") else None
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect(hostname=host, port=int(port), username=username, password=password)
sftp = ssh.open_sftp()
sftp.sshclient = ssh
sftp.get("/SFTP/PL_DEV/test.dat", "C:/import/download/test.dat")
