# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The ReadDir method is deprecated:

# dirObj is a CkSFtpDir
dirObj = sftp.ReadDir(handle)
if (sftp.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(sftp.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Do the equivalent using ReadDirListing.
# Your application creates a new, empty SFtpDir object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.
