Correctly using banner_timeout in paramiko

Question

I'm trying to have many clients send files to a server all at once (or as fast as possible) but the server is getting too many requests at once as in the question Paramiko: Error reading SSH protocol banner. I've tried adding a banner_timeout so that the clients will try a little longer to connect to server, however, I'm thrown an error: TypeError: connect() got an unexpected keyword arguement 'banner_timeout'

import paramiko, os, time
host_IP='192.168.1.1'
port=22
transport=paramiko.Transport((host_IP,port))
transport.connect(username='username', password='password', banner_timeout=60)
sftp=paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(transport)

Perhaps I'm using the transport incorrectly?

`paramiko.Transport.connect` doesn't take `banner_timeout` argument. — Nizam Mohamed, Jan 17 '17 at 19:56
Try using `ssh=paramiko.SSHClient() ; ssh.connect(host, username = 'username', password = 'password', timeout = 60)` — boardrider, Jan 17 '17 at 21:37
@boardrider Thanks! This allowed me to use the banner timeout and then open an sftp connection. Unfortunately, using banner_timeout option did not solve my underlying problem. — Btc-babydev, Jan 25 '17 at 00:47
If you're unable to solve your `banner_timeout,` create a new SO question - and describe there what you tried, including a [mcve]. — boardrider, Jan 26 '17 at 07:58

You can set it like transport.banner_timeout = 60 before connecting.
