Usage

scrippy_remote

This module offers all the objects, methods, and functions for operations on remote hosts accessible via SSH/SFTP or FTP and a limited support of CIFS:

• Execution of commands on a remote host
• Copying directories/files to a remote host
• Deleting directories/files on a remote host
• Copying files between remote hosts (with the local machine acting as a buffer)
• ...

The scrippy_remote module provides several objects for transferring files via SFTP, FTP, FTPS, or CIFS, and for remote command execution via SSH.

The source code for the scrippy_remote.remote module and its sub-modules is also extensively commented and remains the best source of documentation.

A HTML version of the documentation can be generated using sphinx:

pip3 install sphinx
cd scrippy-remote
make doc

The resulting documentation will be generated in the docs/build/html directory.
