Read a remote text file

[Sandy7771989]

Hi All,

I have a scenario where i need to read a TEXT file(log.txt) in a remote server(Server 1) and write the read data to a database of another server(Server 2).

I'm using the below code ,But do not know what modification need to do for accessing and reading a remote file and write it to the PostgreSQL database in the destination server.In my local the query is working fine.

Any leads will be of great help.

from utils.postgres_helper import get_connection
from utils.utils import get_global_config

start_time = time.perf_counter()

try:
    source_host = 'mag'
    conf = get_global_config()
    cnx_msql = MySQLdb.connect(host=conf.get(source_host, 'host'),
                               user=conf.get(source_host, 'user'),
                               passwd=conf.get(source_host, 'password'),
                               port=int(conf.get(source_host, 'port')),
                               db=conf.get(source_host, 'db'))
    print ("Source Connected")

        print("Error adding  information.")
        quit()

How do you communicate with the remote machine to get access to the data? HTTP? (S)FTP? Something else?

Also, you shouldn't be building SQL statements by concatenating strings, as that's vulnerable to SQL injection.
