I've made a simple python program to upload files to a server for people in my company to use (it's a short-term solution for now). The user runs the file and it asks them to choose files, which are then uploaded to a server. My code is here:
import osfrom tkinter import filedialog, Tk, Label, Buttonimport paramikoimport urllib.parseimport osfrom pathlib import Pathclass MyGUI: def __init__(self, master): self.master = master master.title("Server Uploader") master.resizable(height=False, width=False) master.configure(bg="white") self.label = Label(master, text="There was a problem connecting to the server. Please try again later or contact me.", fg="black", bg="white") self.label.config(font=("Courier", 12)) self.label.pack()class SuccessfulUpload: def __init__(self, master): self.master = master master.title("Successful Upload") master.resizable(height=False,width=False) self.label = Label(master, text="Upload successful. You can now close this window.") self.label.config(font=("Courier, 12")) self.label.pack()#Connect to server using SFTPssh_client = paramiko.SSHClient()ssh_client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())try: ssh_client.connect(hostname='hostname',port=portno,username='username',password='password')except paramiko.ssh_exception.AuthenticationException as e: root = Tk() my_gui = MyGUI(root) root.mainloop() raise SystemExit#Ask for user to choose files to uploadroot = Tk()root.withdraw()files = filedialog.askopenfilenames(title="Choose Files to Upload to the Server", filetypes=(("All Files","*.*"),("PDF Files","*.pdf"), ("Word Files","*.doc*")))print (root.tk.splitlist(files))s = ssh_client.open_sftp()if files == "": raise SystemExit#Define local and remote path for filefor file in files: localpath = file parts = Path(file).parts endpath = parts[-1] print(endpath) remotepath="/Path/"+ endpath print(remotepath) s.put(localpath,remotepath)root = Tk()fin = SuccessfulUpload(root)root.mainloop()s.close()root.destroy()complete = input("Upload Successful. Press any key to exit.")I converted the .py file into a .exe file using pyinstaller. I then sent it to another computer. First, Windows tried to prevent the program from downloading (understandable), then once allowed to download, Windows tries to stop the program from running - bit annoying but OK. Still, after allowing the program twice through Windows, anti-virus (AVG) still prevents the program from running. To get it to run, I've had to go directly onto the anti-virus and make an exception for my program.
I can't send the program out whilst you have to manually make an exception for it within the anti-virus. Is there any way to make your file more trustworthy for other computers to download and run (without anti-virus completely stopping the program from running).
