Re: [Fab-user] Uploading a directory recursively?

[Jeff Forcier]

Unfortunately, this is a limitation of Paramiko; its SFTP module is
only capable of handling one file at a time.

If you look in fabric.contrib.project there's an upload_project
function which gets around this by tarring up the directory, sftp'ing
that, then untarring it again. From your perspective it's just what
you ask for, you give it a local directory and remote location and it
does the job.

The function isn't terrifically flexible (it's largely untouched from
Fabric 0.1.x) but it should hopefully suffice, and obviously we're
happy to fix bugs in it when they come up.

Best,
Jeff
