time.sleep() after scp about scp.py HOT 5 CLOSED

What is wait()? Do you mean time.sleep() or equivalent?

This is weird because this lib is supposed to block until the transfer is finished 😮

from scp.py.

Sorry, time.sleep() its correct, not wait()

yeah that was my face when i see that :O
Maybe SO need some time to make a flush or something... I tests it on AWS-EC2

from scp.py.

This is surprising to me because the tej library I wrote uploads files and executes them immediately, and never ran into this issue. Are you sure scp has returned when you access the file? Are you using multiple threads in your client?

from scp.py.

I think so, only 1 thread and wait for scp completed to continue. I don´t have access to the code anymore, sorry :/

from scp.py.

I just tested this and could not reproduce:

from paramiko import SSHClient
from scp import SCPClient

# Connect via SSH
ssh = SSHClient()
ssh.load_system_host_keys()
ssh.connect('ec2-server')

# Open a shell
chan = ssh.get_transport().open_session()
chan.exec_command('/bin/sh')

# Put file
scp = SCPClient(ssh.get_transport())
scp.put('test.txt', 'test.txt')

# Test that the file exists
chan.send('exec cat test.txt 2>&1\n')
out = chan.recv(4096)
while out:
    print(repr(out))
    out = chan.recv(4096)
print(chan.recv_exit_status())

chan.close()
scp.close()
ssh.close()

I am going to go ahead and close this. Let me know if you run into the issue again, but really that would be a bug in the server, not this client library 🤔
