Python paramiko SFTP IOError

I am trying to create a python script that connects to my server and sends some files via SFTP. But the problem is I keep getting

IOError: Failure

Does anyone know why this is happening? The directory on my local PC has multiple files.

code:

import paramiko
import os

local_path = "/home/user/Desktop/test"
remote_path = "/home/user/files/html/"

ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()

ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect('ipaddress', username="user", password="user")

sftp = ssh.open_sftp()
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(local_path):
    for fname in files:
        full_fname = os.path.join(root, fname)
        sftp.put(full_fname, remote_path)

sftp.close()
ssh.close()

      

        
        
        
      

    

Traceback:
