Hi,
    I am doing sftp transport connection by doing

sftp = paramiko.SFTP.from_transport(tc)

on this sftp object i do all the read and write operation for a file.

Now if for some reason the SFTP connection is gone and if we are
trying to do something like
sftp.read() operation, this will fail since there no sftp connection alive

In this case what sort of exception is returned?

Actually i need to catch this and try SFTP connection again.
