@ Yenthe,

Thanks for your help, But i can't get it done.

I'm using a VM with Windows XP, and can't install pysftp or the auto-backup module

With Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit install and with pip installed, I get an error during compilation when doing

sudo pip install pysftp

ie

x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -std=c99 -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -Isrc/ -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c src/MD2.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/src/MD2.o

src/MD2.c:31:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory

#include "Python.h"

^

compilation terminated.

error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

As this is a vanilla Ubuntu install, I think there is another step such as installing dev headers but either way, I can go no further at the moment

@ Yenthe,

Thank u so much. This is working

Hi Naduni,

I assume you're the guy that asked me about how to install this on my blog?
If you're on Ubuntu open up a terminal and type the following command:

sudo pip install pysftp 

If you're on Windows you'll need to install the lib from the terminal. Open cmd and navigate in to the folder where pysftp-0.2.8 is located. After this you can execute the file to install:

cd ./pysftp-0.2.8/
setup.py install

In case you get an error about 'no module named setuptools' download this and install it too.

With kind regards,
Yenthe
