I want to do a python script that is able to copy log files from a remote windows 10 virtual machine to the script's machine (Windows) as well as deleting files. A developer in my work place uses WMI with C# to do these kind of stuff but I haven't been able to find anything for Python regarding this topic.

You can use SSH for that.

Paramiko is an awesome library that can run SSH in python: http://www.paramiko.org/

  • SSH is a network protocol. It works everywhere - provided you have the server and client installed. – rdas Mar 31 '19 at 18:52
  • Ah, no. The VM doesn't have an SSH server and I will not be able to install one on it. The maximum I will be able to do is to make a shared folder, is there a way to work with that? – Yaniv K. Mar 31 '19 at 18:57
  • Sadly no. You can try this maybe: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/659013/accessing-a-shared-file-unc-from-a-remote-non-trusted-domain-with-credentials – rdas Mar 31 '19 at 19:00
