#82125 — why can't download file from linux server into local window disk c:?

My vps ip is x.y.z.w ,i want to download /etc/passwd from linux server  
into my local window disk c: .

import paramiko
host = "x.y.z.w"
port = 22
transport = paramiko.Transport((host, port))
password = "mykey"
username = "root"
transport.connect(username = username, password = password)
sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(transport)
filepath = '/etc/passwd'
localpath = 'c:'
sftp.get(filepath, localpath)

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "D:\Python34\lib\site-packages\paramiko\sftp_client.py", line 
719, in get

     with open(localpath, 'wb') as fl:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'c:'

That's completely clear: you are not allowed to create a file named 
'c:'. You should replace it with a full path name, such as

localpath = 'c:\\passwd'

or such.

It's trying to open "c:", which is a drive, as if it was a file.

You have to specify the destination filename, not just the directory.

Also, you probably shouldn't be trying to write to the root directory of
the C drive. You should probably be using a directory beneath either
%USERPROFILE% or %ALLUSERSPROFILE%.

Writing to the root of the system drive tends to require Administrator
privileges. Even if the current user is an administrator, the process must
have elevated privilege (e.g. via "Run as Administrator" or an explicit
privilege-elevation request from within the code).
