Shell Programming and Scripting

I need to compare the output files in a directory for sftp, looking through a mask.

Return the full file name.

Eg.

I have a file named locally:

test.txt

I must check through sftp, if a file with the following name:

test_F060514_H173148.TXT

My idea is for the filename to a variable, without the extension .TXT.

Code:

dirlistTestigos = os.listdir(testigos)
            for j in dirlistTestigos:
                fileName, fileExtension = os.path.splitext(j)
                fileNameMask = '/datos/' + fileName + '_F*'

How I can check if a file with the mask, exists in a directory on a remote sftp?






is this correct? :

Code:

fileNameComp = sftp.listdir(fileNameMask)

the use of the mask, you do not know what date and time the file might have the name.
