Change Log

• 0.2.9 (current, released 2016-07-04)
  • bugfix: correctly implement hostcheck. Now, be default pysftp will verify the host. See pysftp.CnOpts.hostkeys
  • added pysftp.Connection.remote_server_key() - used to retrieve the remote hosts server key.
  • added support for enabling compression, compression (J. Kruth)
  • added active_compression, to return the active local and remote compression settings as a tuple
  • fixed an unwanted logging side-effect, after you set logging, it would remain, even if you closed the .Connection and couldn’t be changed to something else. Now when Connection closes, any logging handlers are closed and can be changed to something else upon the next .Connection
  • moved log parameter of Connection to the new CnOpts connection options object, deprecated the existing log parameter, will be removed in 0.3.0
  • modified pysftp.Conection.walktree() to always use posixpath conventions when walking a remote directory per the latest draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-13.txt. Issue encountered with windows clients (#60)
  • modified pysftp.reparent() to handle mis-matched pathing, i.e. windows -> posix, better (#61)
• 0.2.8 (released 2014-05-28)
  • created pysftp.walktree() for walking local directories

  • created put_r() to recursively put the contents of a local directory to a remote one
  • fixed a bug with st_mode_to_int() on py3 (#52)
  • listdir_attr() now returns a sorted list, sorted on filename

  • created docs, cookbook to show off some of the notable features of pysftp
• 0.2.7 (released 2014-05-24)
  • created pysftp.Connection.walktree(), recursively walk, depth first, a remote directory structure. Used as the base of get_r(). See tests/test_walktree.py for examples.
  • added unlink() as synonym for remove()
  • added normalize()
  • created get_r() to recursively copy remote directories to a local path
  • created pwd to return the current working directory
  • created cwd() as synonym for chdir()
  • modified listdir() to return a sorted list instead of an arbitrary one
  • added readlink(), always returns an absolute path
  • created get_d() to copy the remote directory to a local path (non-recursive)
  • added timeout to set the read/write timeout of the underlying channel for pending read/write ops
  • added listdir_attr(), wrapper for paramiko method
  • added truncate(), method returns the new file size
  • improved DRY’ness of test suite
• 0.2.6 (released 2014-05-17)
  • added preserve_mtime parameter to put(), optionally updates the remote file’s st_mtime to match the local file.
  • added preserve_mtime parameter to get(), optionally updates the local file’s st_mtime to match the remote file

  • added symlink()
  • created isdir(), isfile(), makedirs()

  • Connection can be used in a with statement
  • add remove()
  • added support for callback and confirm params to put()
  • added support for callback on get()
  • added support for open()
  • fixed password bug and now differentiates between an empty string and None
  • added support for paramiko.AgentKey to be passed in as the private_key for Connection
  • added support for mkdir()
  • added support for rmdir()
  • added support for stat() and lstat()
  • added helper function, st_mode_to_int(),to convert the st_mode value back into a common integer representation

  • added putfo()
• 0.2.3 (released 2014-05-10)
  • host code on pypi to keep pip happy
  • move code to bitbucket
