title: Python Paramiko, reading line(s) from file
body: <p>First of all, I'm a noob with Python so this is gonna seem like a really easy question probably.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to figure out how to use Python Paramiko, and have succeeded in connecting to my remote server, so I've succeeded in the first respect. What I would like to do now is to read a particular line from a file. </p>
  
  <p>I've looked through Paramiko and it looks like the BufferedFile class might be able to read lines from the file. However I can't figure out how I need to load the file within the class. There is no 'open file' method, with the other methods just stating that they do things to 'the file'. The constructer doesn't take a file, so how do I load a file which I use the methods on? Probably a big thing I've missed, but I'm learning, so please excuse me. </p>
