This library can be used to copy files to and from a remote machine using Secure Copy (SCP). It uses the Paramiko SSH Python library (just like robotframework-sshlibrary) and an SCP wrapper (‘scp’ by James Bardin).
The library does not currently support Jython or IronPython at this time.
This library may be installed via PyPI or from the source distribution. To install using pip, run:
pip install robotframework-scplibrary
To install from the source distribution, download the repo archive and extract the source and run:
python setup.py install

Before files can be transferred, a connection to remote machine must
first be made. A connection can be made with the Open Connection
keyword. Both normal username/password authentication and asymmetric
key-pair authentication may be used.
Connections should be closed using the Close Connection
keyword when
they are no longer in use.
Files and directories can be uploaded to the remote machine using the
Put File
or Put Directory
keywords or downloaded to the local
machine using the Get File
keyword.
A connection must be made using the Open Connection
keyword before
file transfers may be made.
