Complete Python Scripting for Automation - Transfer file from local server to remote server and vice versa using paramik

This video tutorial explains how to use the Paramiko module in Python for transferring files between a local and a remote server. It covers setting up an SSH client, establishing an SFTP connection, and performing file operations like downloading and transferring files. The tutorial also highlights best practices, such as closing connections and managing file paths.

What is the primary purpose of using the Paramiko module in Python?

• To perform file transfers between local and remote servers

• To create graphical user interfaces

• To develop web applications

• To manage databases

What is the first step in using Paramiko for file transfers?

• Set up a database connection

• Download the Paramiko library

• Import the Paramiko module

• Create an SFTP connection

Which method is used to open an SFTP connection from an SSH client?

• SSHClient.execute()

• SSHClient.transfer()

• SSHClient.connect()

• SSHClient.open_sftp()

What operation can be performed using the SFTP client to change file ownership?

• SFTPClient.update_ownership()

• SFTPClient.set_owner()

• SFTPClient.change_ownership()

• SFTPClient.modify_owner()

When downloading a file from a remote server, what is considered the source?

• The SSH client path

• The local server path

• The remote server path

• The SFTP client path

How can you download a file without specifying its complete path?

• By changing the SFTP client's working directory

• By using the default path

• By using a wildcard character

• By specifying a relative path

What is the significance of using two slashes in a file path on Windows?

• It is required for network paths

• It is a syntax error

• It is used for hidden files

• It is a good practice to avoid escape sequences

What is the destination when transferring a file from a local server to a remote server?

• The local server path

• The SFTP client path

• The SSH client path

• The remote server path

Which command is used to transfer a file to a remote server using SFTP?

• SFTPClient.send()

• SFTPClient.receive()

• SFTPClient.put()

• SFTPClient.get()

What should you do if you don't want to specify the complete path on a remote server?

• Use a relative path

• Change the SFTP client's directory

• Use a wildcard character

• Specify a default path
