There are situation you may need to programmatically transfer file from SFTP server to you local environment. Here we will see a code written in Linux environment using Python.
Source Code
from paramiko import Transport, SFTPClient
host = 'myftp.company.com'
port = 22
username = 'my_username'
password = 'my_password'
transport = Transport(sock=(host, port))
transport.connect(username=username, password=password)
connection = SFTPClient.from_transport(transport)
connection.listdir()# Will List all the files
connection.get('myfilename.csv', '/mnt/freshers_in/myfilename.csv', callback=None)

SFTP – SSH File Transfer Protocol, or Secure File Transfer Protocol, is a separate protocol packaged with SSH that works in a similar way but over a secure connection. Default PORT is 22.
Paramiko is a Python (2.7, 3.4+) implementation of the SSHv2 protocol [1], providing both client and server functionality.
You can install paramiko as follows
