call scp from python

[Coder Coder]

Hi
How can scp a file from one computer to another using python?



Thanks.

You can either use os.system or some of the popen functions of the os
module.

You can either use os.system or some of the popen functions of the os
module.

But only if you can set it up to run in batch mode, without asking
for passwords *or* a passphrase. Otherwise you need a pty to get it to
work. Past threads in the newsgroup have covered this topic as well.

Search Google Groups for "group:comp.lang.python scp popen" for more.
