I am moving my code from "ftp" to "sftp".. I have faced umpteen number of problems because of that. The biggest problem is to find a sftp command for the ftp cmds in my code. Using the ftp module i can call the "quit" command (from the script) to close the connection. I dont seem to find the similar cmd in the sftp module for closing the connection. It would be great if someone could point out how to close the sftp connection.
