I also use paramiko for a small script.

However I'm a little hesitant to use paramik for new code.

The web page says: "last updated 21-May-2011"

and the github url  http://github.com/robey/paramiko/
yields me a 404

However I didn't really find any alternative.
For cross platform scripts  (Linux / windows)
subprocess is not such a good alternative.


Another problem is, that paramiko depends on pycrypto 2.1+
which doesn't exist as binary release for python 2.7


Is fabric capable of performing scp / sftp

Is there any other library as alternative?

I'm running paramiko-1.7.6 with python 2.7.3 on my Ubunto Precise box.  
I'm reasonably sure all I did was "pip install paramiko".

On the other hand, it may have built it from source during the install.  
Generally, I just let pip do it's magic and don't worry about the 
details.  If you're in an environment where you don't have the compiler 
tool chain, you may be more constrained.

Fabric uses ssh to make connections, and it is capable of copying files.  
For all intents and purposes, I'd say that means it is capable of 
"performing scp / sftp" (both of which are just front-ends to the same 
basic ssh protocol.

But, keep in mind that fabric depends on paramiko.  If you can't get 
paramiko installed, you probably can't get fabric either.

Apologies.  I failed to mention, that I was talking about Windows not Linux.

I use Python for applications, that should work under Linux and under 
Windows.

Thanks, that's good to know, so I don't have to bother looking at farbic 
(at least not as solution on windows python 2.7 without having to try to 
recompile pycrypto myself)
