Get verbose output from put/get ? about scp.py HOT 5 OPEN

The lib will read stderr on some occasions, passing it as argument to raised SCPExceptions, but otherwise the error output is not read. In fact, having the scp command print out verbose output could fill the receive buffer and freeze paramiko.

I'm trying to find a way for paramiko to log the stderr it gets, but there doesn't seem to be anything built in.

from scp.py.

So from the docs explaining the paramiko.client.SSHClient

Reads

client = SSHClient()
client.load_system_host_keys()
client.connect('ssh.example.com')
stdin, stdout, stderr = client.exec_command('ls -l')

I'm wondering if to solve this issue is it a simple fix of doing

def put and get
...

-    self.channel.exec_command(scp_command +
-                                  self.sanitize(asbytes(remote_path)))
+    stdin, stdout, stderr = self.channel.exec_command(scp_command +
+                                  self.sanitize(asbytes(remote_path)))

...

If you think that is an appropriate solution then let me know and I can make a pull request!

This will give you pseudo-files you can read from instead of reading from the channel directly, but I'm no sure how it fixes the problem. PR welcome if you want to take a crack at it.

@remram44 yeah I see what you are saying. The pseudo files can only be read after the exec_command finishes which doesn't really give us an up to date stdin.

No that is not the case. I'm saying there's no difference doing stderr.read() over the current channel.recv_stderr().
