<pre class="base-tree">

</pre>

<hr />
<p>Abstract object representing a handle to an open file (or folder) in 
  an SFTP server implementation.  Each handle has a string representation 
  used by the client to refer to the underlying file.</p>
  <p>Server implementations can (and should) subclass SFTPHandle to 
  implement features of a file handle, like <a 
  href="paramiko.SFTPHandle-class.html#stat" class="link">stat</a> or <a 
  href="paramiko.SFTPHandle-class.html#chattr" class="link">chattr</a>.</p>

  named <code>readfile</code> and/or <code>writefile</code>, and if either 
  or both are present, their <code>close()</code> methods are called.  This
  means that if you are using the default implementations of <a

  <p>Read up to <code>length</code> bytes from this file, starting at 
  position <code>offset</code>.  The offset may be a python long, since 
  SFTP allows it to be 64 bits.</p>
  <p>If the end of the file has been reached, this method may return an 
  empty string to signify EOF, or it may also return SFTP_EOF.</p>
  <p>The default implementation checks for an attribute on 
  <code>self</code> named <code>readfile</code>, and if present, performs 
  the read operation on the python file-like object found there.  (This is 
  meant as a time saver for the common case where you are wrapping a python
  file object.)</p>

  <p>Write <code>data</code> into this file at position 
  <code>offset</code>.  Extending the file past its original end is 
  expected.  Unlike python's normal <code>write()</code> methods, this 
  method cannot do a partial write: it must write all of <code>data</code> 
  or else return an error.</p>
  <p>The default implementation checks for an attribute on 
  <code>self</code> named <code>writefile</code>, and if present, performs 
  the write operation on the python file-like object found there.  The 
  attribute is named differently from <code>readfile</code> to make it easy
  to implement read-only (or write-only) files, but if both attributes are 
  present, they should refer to the same file.</p>
