Hi all,

I am new to SSH and have narrowed down what I thought was a server problem to what seems to be an SSH problem. I the following simple python program which for some reason, cannot see the file "result1.txt".

import ssh
import pickle

s = ssh.Connection(host = 'IPADDRESS', username = 'toolserv', password = 'XXX')

with open("/home/toolserv/result1.txt", "r") as my_file:
signed_data1 = pickle.load(my_file)
my_file.close()

print signed_data1

s.close()

I get the error that it doesn't exist, when it definitely does:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "sshread.py", line 6, in <module>
with open("/home/toolserv/result1.txt", "r") as my_file:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/toolserv/result1.txt'

I don't know how to proceed here. I'm stuck and would appreciate any help.

Moved: This thread is more suitable in <PROGRAMMING> and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

Read the doco some more ...

Your code doesn't get run on the remote box, but on the machine that your script is on.


And please use code-tags, specially w/ python, where indentation is so important, your
post is pretty much incomprehensible.


Cheers,
