========================
The scp.py module uses a paramiko transport to send and recieve files via the scp1 protocol. This is the protocol as referenced from the openssh scp program, and has only been tested with this implementation.
==========
from paramiko import SSHClient
from scp import SCPClient
ssh = SSHClient()
ssh.load_system_host_keys()
ssh.connect('example.com')
# SCPCLient takes a paramiko transport as its only argument
scp = SCPClient(ssh.get_transport())
scp.put('test.txt', 'test2.txt')
scp.get('test2.txt')
$ md5sum test.xt test2.txt
