Failed to establish a new connection: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond'
same code works fine on test machine but fails on, production. errors on the final print line.
with this code
import dropbox
filetoupload = 'Z:\\users\\aeadmin\\documents\\ysn1.png'
filetouploadname = '/ysn1d.png'
f= open(filetoupload,"rb")
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(
app_key = "x65cwwc7.....",
app_secret = "3s809......",
oauth2_refresh_token = "IjYGZB7V...."
)
print(dbx.files_upload(f.read(),filetouploadname, mode=dropbox.files.WriteMode("overwrite")))
JohnPT, some more info might be helpful. Your Python SDK single method call involves 2 API calls (on 2 different Dropbox servers)! It's not clear least which one fails. Some stacktrace would be fine. Does the same happen if you perform client object initialization with access token, instead of refresh token? Check that, if possible, on the machine where execution fails.
It fails on the final line the upload request. > print(dbx.files_upload(f.read(),filetouploadname, mode=dropbox.files.WriteMode("overwrite")))
I get a dbx object that looks fine in vscode.
I will try this. working to get trace and try on another machine. i am testing on windows 10 machine for test and prod.
Thank you for your help.

Just to add some clarification. Yes, for sure the code, you posted, is the only place where things can get wrong. It's the only place, in your code, where API calls get performed. The 'dbx' object itself can look fine after construction. Construction doesn't perform too much checks! You can construct Dropbox client object with completely wrong parameters and it will looks "fine". It wont look the same when you're going to execute some of its method though (where the actual mistakes get up). 😉
