[FIXED] pramiko .get is showing inconsistent output

Issue

I'm using the following code to run commands on a remote machine via paramiko.

commands = [[r"1st commands goes in here", "remote path", "localpath"],
[r"2nd commands goes in here", "remote path", "localpath"]]

for command in commands:
    # create a new session
    try:
        server = ShellHandler(ip_address, "admin", admin_pw)
        open_ftp = server.ftp()
    except:
        sys.exit("something went wrong, please try again")

    cmd = server.execute("cd /home/admin/automated")

    cmd = server.execute(command[0])

    open_ftp.get(command[1], command[2])

    # end the current session
    avamar.ssh.close()
    open_ftp.close()

I'm creating a new connection for each command and redirecting the output to a file and downloading that file using pramiko .get

I'm getting inconsistent output from this code, sometimes it works just fine and grabs the files and sometimes it gives this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise IOError(errno.EACCES, text)
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

any idea what's wrong here!

Solution

this error has to do with file permission on your machine.
