I am using configparser to create a configuration file. The config file has an unlimited amount of potential read paths from the local host. The local host needs to send and write the data to a RHEL6.10 box. The path structure from the local host needs to be mirrored on the remote host. Then the ownership of the file needs to be changed with pysftp.chown().

So I think I have the read structure down. The problem I am encountering is writing to the server given the directory path. It recursively looks the the given folder for any files and files in subdirectories. Then it has to write them. I plan on using pysftp.put_r to recursively write to the remote server.

Under def dir_search I am having trouble within my for structure.

Here is an example config:

[data]
ID0 = 1 C:UsersAdministratorDocuments /tmp 465 5000
