put after get results in corrupting file about scp.py HOT 5 CLOSED

The get() function does block until the transfer is finished, so you might want to look deeper into the issue you are (were?) experiencing?

The SCP protocol doesn't support copying between servers (contrary to FTP, which you might want to consider).

from scp.py.

I'm sorry I checked the code and found that aswell. It was another issue on my side, which I wasn't able to see first.

Nevertheless copying between two remote machines would be a great feature :P

from scp.py.

The SCP protocol doesn't support that, so there's nothing this library can do. You can check out FTP server-to-server, which requires an FTP server on both ends but actually transfers the file directly (no data is sent to/from client).

from scp.py.

Well this works under Unix http://superuser.com/questions/686394/scp-between-two-remote-hosts-from-my-third-pc
I am just disappointed about some Python libraries not being as powerful as the usual bash commands (for example ssh -X).

from scp.py.

The data still transits on the client. The protocol simply doesn't support server-to-server.

I agree that there should be a way to do this without writing then reading back from the filesystem; I'll add an issue for this.

(correction: this is pretty much #70)
