Correctly using banner_timeout in paramiko

Question

I'm trying to have many clients send files to a server all at once (or as fast as possible) but the server is getting too many requests at once as in the question Paramiko: Error reading SSH protocol banner. I've tried adding a banner_timeout so that the clients will try a little longer to connect to server, however, I get an error:

TypeError: connect() got an unexpected keyword argument 'banner_timeout'

Code:

import paramiko, os, time host_IP='192.168.1.1' port=22 transport=paramiko.Transport((host_IP,port)) transport.connect(username='username', password='password', banner_timeout=60) sftp=paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(transport)

Perhaps I'm using the transport incorrectly?

paramiko.Transport.connect doesn't take banner_timeout argument. — Nizam Mohamed

Try using ssh=paramiko.SSHClient() ; ssh.connect(host, username = 'username', password = 'password', timeout = 60) — boardrider

@boardrider Thanks! This allowed me to use the banner timeout and then open an sftp connection. Unfortunately, using banner_timeout option did not solve my underlying problem. — Btc-babydev

If you're unable to solve your banner_timeout, create a new SO question - and describe there what you tried, including a minimal reproducible example. — boardrider

You can set it like transport.banner_timeout = 60 before connecting.
