How to Fix FileNotFoundError with Paramiko While Downloading to S3

When working with the Paramiko library for SFTP file transfers in Python, you might encounter an error that states: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory. This typically arises when attempting to save files directly to an Amazon S3 bucket. In this post, we will explore why this error occurs and how to effectively resolve it, allowing you to download files from an SFTP server to an S3 bucket seamlessly.

Understanding the Problem

The FileNotFoundError issue arises because when you attempt to use the SFTPClient.get method to save files directly into an S3 bucket path, it's unable to interpret it as a valid local file system path. Unlike local directories, S3 paths are not directly accessible like local filesystem paths, which leads to this confusion in the file handling process.

Example Code with Issue

In this example, trying to download directly to an S3 path triggers the FileNotFoundError. So, how do we overcome this hurdle?

Solution Overview

To resolve this issue, we will follow a two-step approach:

Download the file from the SFTP server to a local directory.

Upload the downloaded file from the local directory to the S3 bucket using the boto3 library, which is specifically designed to interact with AWS services.

Step 1: Download the File Locally

Start by modifying your existing code to download the desired file to a local path on your server. Here is a sample implementation:

Step 2: Upload to Amazon S3

Now that we have the file downloaded locally, we can upload it to the S3 bucket. This requires the boto3 library, which handles communication with AWS services.

Make sure to install boto3 if you haven't already:

Conclusion

By following this two-step approach, you can effectively bypass the FileNotFoundError encountered while trying to directly download files from an SFTP server to an S3 bucket. By first downloading the files locally and then using boto3 for S3 interaction, you'll streamline your file handling process and avoid common pitfalls.
