[paramiko] copying only recent files from one machine to another.

[Manpreet Singh Khurana]

First of all let me tell you that get and put function do not throw
exceptions. If you read the Paramiko API document it states that the
exceptions will be "passed through".
I dont think there is a API in python which can do stateful file
fetching, though what you can do is that you tokenize your file

Tokanize your file with  the field separator bu using "split" API and
then store the last timestamp in a external file . In the next fetch
compare with the stored TS with the new TS and if new TS is less than
the stored value skip it else fetch it and update the file with this
new TS.
