Problem using put with sftpclient

[bgd77]

I'm having some problems using put on sftpclient, I always get an exception and it does not work for me.

In the most simple example I have pytest and pytest-sftpserver installed in a virtual environment (I have tried with both python 2.7 and python 3.8).

Using this test:

from paramiko import Transport
from paramiko.channel import Channel
from paramiko.sftp_client import SFTPClient

def test_sftp(sftpserver):
    transport = Transport((sftpserver.host, sftpserver.port))
    transport.connect(username="a", password="b")
    sftpclient = SFTPClient.from_transport(transport)
    
    try:
        assert sftpclient.listdir("/") == []
        sftpclient.put("temp.txt", "/a/test.txt")
    finally:
        sftpclient.close()
        transport.close()

I get this error:

test.py:12:

def _convert_status(self, msg):
    """

    """
    code = msg.get_int()
    text = msg.get_text()
    if code == SFTP_OK:
        return
    elif code == SFTP_EOF:
        raise EOFError(text)
    elif code == SFTP_NO_SUCH_FILE:
        # clever idea from john a. meinel: map the error codes to errno
        raise IOError(errno.ENOENT, text)

E IOError: [Errno 2] No such file

I don't understand what is wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm debugging some similar issues.

What do you get if you replace
sftpclient.put("temp.txt", "/a/test.txt") by sftpclient.put("temp.txt", "/test.txt")
i.e. put it in an already existing folder?

The issue you have seems to be that you're trying to upload to a folder that does not exist yet

Hi, sorry for the late response. I have tried as you said and I still get the same error.
