How can I transfer file from SFTP using python 3.6

I would like to use paramiko for SFTP file transfer in Python 3.6. I know that paramiko depends on PyCrypto and have read about PyCrypto installation problems in Python 3.6. Although I have seen a number of questions regarding this topic, I have not found a solution to successful SFTP file transfer in Python 3.6.

My first question: is it possible to use Python 3.6 for SFTP file transfer? If so, will paramiko work? If the above will work, why I am I receiving the following errors when attempting to install PyCrypto?

error: [WinError 2] The system canot find the file specified
**Failed building wheel for pycrypto**

My second question: if paramiko will not work with Python 3.6, are there any alternatives or must I revert back to a previous python version for SFTP file transfer?
