[paramiko] what is the exception if sftp object dies

[Todd Whiteman]

Not sure what the exact exception is, but it's probably better to check 
the connection before you perform the sftp.read() using something like:

if not connection.is_active():
   reconnect()
sftp.read()


Note: Any error(s) is likely one of:
   paramiko.SFTPError
   IOError
   socket.error


Cheers,
Todd
