Hi,
I am writing a Python 2.7 code to perform tasks with files on AWS EC2 instances, such as:
- load file from local Windows PC to EC2 folder
- open new directories on EC2
- copy files from EC2 folder to another EC2 folder
I already have WinSCP installed and I set up saved connections to all of the EC2 servers I intend to work with. Currently I am manually loading the files from my PC to EC2, and running Linux commands via PuTTY. So I just want to automate the process.
I am new to Python, WinSCP and coding in general, but from what I gather WinSCP can be accessed grammatically, via Python, and do some or maybe even all of the tasks listed above (btw i use boto to load to S3 but with EC2 Boto have no such options).
Important to mention that I use .ppk instead of password when connecting to EC2.
I saw the guides in this site (
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/scripts) and googled around quite a bit, but couldn't get it work right.
Would much appreciate if someone could point me to the right path.
Cheers :)
