OK, so either you have to change dir on the remote machine(via sftp)
or you use the / directory.

I'm not sure whether you should use join either. I think the first agument
should be the path not the fuill filename, but I may be wrong. But at least
you need to pass '/' as your path.

dir_path = '/'
sftp.get(dir_path, f)

If that doesn't work put the join back in...
