Paramiko equvalent of pipline controls and input/output pipes

I n开发者_JS百科eed a method of paramiko based file transfer with a lightweight SSH2 server (dropbear) which has no support for SCP or SFTP. Is there a way of achieving a cat and redirect style file transfer, such as:

ssh server "cat remote_file" > local_file

with paramiko channels?

Can paramiko.Transport.open_channel() or Message() do the job? I am unsure of how to proceed.

If the limitation, as you say, is only in your client, you can easily implement a SFTP client directly with paramiko -- e.g., look at this example code.

pyfilesystem implements an sftp filesystem on top of paramiko.
