I am trying to send a file from the master node to minion nodes using a python script but a single error OSError: Failure keeps on coming up.
I tried to code this file to send this file from one local machine to another local machine.
My code:
#! /usr/bin/python
#! /usr/bin/python3
import paramiko
import os
#Defining working connect
def workon(host):
#Making a connection
ssh_client = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh_client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy()) #To add the missing host key and auto add policy
ssh_client.connect(hostname = host, username = 'username', password = 'password')
ftp_client = ssh_client.open_sftp()
ftp_client.put("/home/TrialFolder/HelloPython", "/home/")
ftp_client.close()
#stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh_client.exec_command("ls")
#lines = stdout.readlines()
#print(lines)
def main():
hosts = ['192.16.15.32', '192.16.15.33', '192.16.15.34']
threads = []
for h in hosts:
workon(h)
main()

OSError: Failure
First, you should make sure the target directory /home/
is writable for you. Then you should review documentation for the put
method. It says this about the second argument (remotepath
):
The destination path on the SFTP server. Note that the filename should be included. Only specifying a directory may result in an error.
Try including the filename in the path, like:
...
ftp_client.put("/home/TrialFolder/HelloPython", "/home/HelloPython")
...
