I have a python script which downloads some files from sftp server. But getting server connection dropped error after some time.

++++Error+++

File "/home/user/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/paramiko/sftp.py", line 188, in _read_all raise EOFError() EOFError

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

File "/home/user/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/paramiko/sftp_client.py", line 845, in _read_response raise SSHException("Server connection dropped: {}".format(e)) paramiko.ssh_exception.SSHException: Server connection dropped:

+++++++

artifact = self.artifact_folder + filename
self.session.get(filename, artifact)

Are you able to download the file without using `pysftp` ? – CodeIt Aug 13 '19 at 06:04

Glad it helped. – CodeIt Aug 14 '19 at 09:02
It didnt resolve my issue. I need to get it working using pysftp. – GKotkar Aug 16 '19 at 09:55
Did you check server-side log files? + Does the connection drop after specific time? Or is it random? – Martin Prikryl Aug 18 '19 at 08:04
