It provides utility functions to transfer files to and from servers, abstracting away the details of different transfer protocols (FTP, TFTP, SSH) so test automation code can move files between test hosts and network devices without reimplementing protocol logic. The package is designed to integrate with Genie's broader test harness and object-oriented automation model.\n\nIt ships as a pure Python wheel with low installation friction and depends on protocol-specific libraries (pyftpdlib for FTP server support, tftpy for TFTP, asyncssh for SSH) plus unicon for device connectivity. The package is actively maintained and carries no known security vulnerabilities. It targets developers writing test automation for network infrastructure, where moving configuration files, firmware images, or logs between test systems and devices is a common task.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building test automation on Genie/pyATS for network infrastructure. It provides a clean abstraction over file transfer protocols (FTP, TFTP, SSH) that would otherwise require separate protocol libraries and boilerplate. Active maintenance, permissive licensing, low install friction, and zero known vulnerabilities support adoption. Not relevant outside the Genie/pyATS ecosystem."},"id":"genie-libs-filetransferutils","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/genie-libs-filetransferutils","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/genie-libs-filetransferutils.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/genie-libs-filetransferutils/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"genie.libs.filetransferutils","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Genie libs FileTransferUtils: Genie FileTransferUtils Libraries"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":268574,"position":8272,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"26.7"}
