Simple wrapper around ssh implement put, get, exe via controlmaster session. Generaly used for same tasks as paramiko or fabric but act as real user and so better handle complex ssh_config files with long redirect chains especially Example: git clone git://github.com/flashvoid/python-controlmaster.git pycm from pycm import controlmaster customer = controlmaster.controlmaster('customhost') customer.connect() customer.put(src,dst) customer.exe(cmd) customer.get(src,dst) customer.disconnect() TODO: Think the way to suppress all this trash on stdout
