import time
import subprocess
start_time = time.time()
# Replace [source] and [destination] with the file paths you want to use
subprocess.run(["scp", "[source]", "[destination]"])
end_time = time.time()
transfer_time = end_time - start_time
print(f"Transfer time: {transfer_time} seconds")
This script will start a timer, run the scp
command to transfer a file from the source to the destination, and then stop the timer. It will then print out the total transfer time in seconds.
You can modify this script to fit your specific needs. For example, you might want to specify additional options for the scp
command, or you might want to run the transfer multiple times and average the results.
To measure the speed of an SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) transfer, you can use the following Python code
This script will run the scp
command with the -v
option, which enables verbose output. This will cause scp
to print additional information about the transfer, including the transfer speed.
You can run this script multiple times to get an average transfer speed, or you can use a tool like pv
(pipe viewer) to measure the transfer speed in real-time. Here's an example of how you might use pv
to measure the transfer speed:
pv [source] | scp - [destination]
This will pipe the output of the [source]
file through pv
, which will measure the transfer speed and display it in the terminal.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
