Paramiko how to specify Folder path

import paramiko
import os
import sys

ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
paramiko.util.log_to_file('U:\\Temp\\paramiko.log')
ssh.load_system_host_keys()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())


ssh.connect('172.18.24.234','/TestBTEC/',22,'btectest','M3j0Stanf0rd')
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command("mkdir abc")
stdout.readlines()

This is obviously throwing back errors. What is the proper way to set the home directory on the remote server for user btectest

Instead of setting you can also specify parent directory as userprofile as below import os

abc_dir = os.path.join('%UserProfile%','abc')
cmd = "mkdir %s" % abc_dir
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command(cmd)

The parameters you are passing to SSHCient.connect() are incorrect (at least for paramiko 1.6+). Your connect() call should look like this:

ssh.connect('172.18.24.234', username='btectest', password='...')

or if you explicitly include the port:

ssh.connect('172.18.24.234', 22, 'btectest', '...')

Once connected, you should already be in the home directory of the user "btectest", as can be seen with this:

stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command("pwd")
stdout.readlines()
