[Tutor] sftp get single file

[Matt Herzog]

Hello All.

I need to use paramiko to sftp get a single file from a remote server.
The remote file's base name will be today's date (%Y%m%d) dot tab. 
I need help joining the today with the .tab extension. Do I need globbing?

example: 20090716.tab

#!/usr/bin/env python
import paramiko
import glob
import os
import time
hostname = 'sftp.booboo.com'
port = 22
username = 'booboo'
password = '07N4219?'
# glob_pattern='*.tab'
today = time.strftime("%Y%m%d")
remotepath = today.tab
localpath = '/home/data/text'

if __name__ == "__main__":
    t = paramiko.Transport((hostname, port))
    t.connect(username=username, password=password)
    sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(t)
    sftp.get(remotepath, localpath)
    t.close()
