I'm trying to send a file from Pythonanywhere to a remote server via SFTP. To do this, I'm trying to use Paramiko to establish an SSH connection but am getting an error when trying to connect.
My code is below:
with paramiko.SSHClient() as ssh:
ssh.load_system_host_keys()
ssh.connect(hostname=sftp_url, port=sftp_port, username=sftp_username, pkey=private_key)
sftp = ssh.open_sftp()
sftp.put(file, file_name)
It errors out on the 3rd line (ssh.connect()) with the following message:
File "/usr/lib/python3.8/socket.py", line 918, in getaddrinfo
for res in _socket.getaddrinfo(host, port, family, type, proto, flags):
socket.gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known
Would anyone know how to resolve this error or what could be causing it?
