I am having difficulty understanding how to use the put method to transfer a directory recursively.

I am coming from using pysftp and using the put_r method.

I have a local path and a remote path and I am simply trying to upload the local path recursively into the remote path.

local_path: /test
remote_path: /backups

I have tried:

c.put(local_path,remote_path)
c.put(open(local_path),remote_path)
c.put(Path(local_path),remote_path)

I have also tried all of the above with remote path only assigned backups.

My goal is for the remote server to have /backups/test after the entire directory is uploaded into that path.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Fabric is build on top of Paramiko. And Paramiko does not support directory transfers.

You will find lot of code examples here showing how to implement directory transfers (even recursively) in Paramiko. I guess they should work with Fabric too.
