Currently, I am executing a script on my server and attempting to retrieve some files from my Firewall. However, when I use an environment variable (signified by the $ symbol) to reference the file, I encounter a "file not found" error. Surprisingly, I have no issues accessing the file when I input a standard path. It's worth noting that the code may appear messy; this is just for demonstration purposes. Below is the functional snippet:
_savedLocation = "/home/kartal/Desktop/aaa.tgz"
folder, savedLocation = os.path.split(_savedLocation)
remotepath = "$FWDIR/bin/upgrade_tools/"
remotefile = remotepath + savedLocation
stdin, stdout, stderr =
ssh.exec_command("cd {} && yes | ./migrate export {} ".format(remotepath, savedLocation))
time.sleep(120)
command = "cd {} && chmod 777 {}".format(remotepath, savedLocation)
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command(command)
sftp = ssh.open_sftp()
sftp.get(remotefile, _savedLocation)
sftp.close()
ssh.close()
If I substitute the
remotepath = "/opt/r80/fw1/bin/upgrade_tools/"Furthermore, during the initial step, I execute the "migrate" script with $FWDIR. Consequently, $FWDIR functions correctly with exec_command, but encounters issues with SFTP get.
What could be the root of the problem, and how can I rectify it?
