Reading txt files in ssh server.

[therenaydin]

Connected to my SSH server with paramiko. I can write files to there remotely. But can't read any txt files from there. Can i read data from txt file?

Of course you can parse the contents of a text file... simplest example:

file1 = open("MyFile.txt","r") 
file1.readlines()
file1.close()

you can do all sorts of stuff reading and writing to text files.

That doesn't help since the files are on a remote machine.

I just had a quick look at the Paramiko docs and there's an SFTP client, so you should investigate using that.

i know this bro but this only reads your computers files. You can't read a txt from remote server with that.
But i found my own way:

readTxt= transport.open_session()
        readTxt.exec_command(cd server;cat example.txt)
        data = readTx.recv(1024)

But when you try to print data, the output is: 'b' hello world \n or something like that i dont remember.
So you need to decode and strip it.

readTxt= transport.open_session()
        readTxt.exec_command(cd server;cat example.txt)
        data = readTx.recv(1024)
        newData = data.decode().rstrip()

And now the output is just "hello world"

Did you also look at the SFTP client?

As I hinted, see the docs.
