[Python] Paramiko SFTP connection drops while uploading large file

I'm trying to upload a large file (1GB) to an SFTP, but I keep getting some variant of:

File "/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paramiko/file.py", line 339, in write
self._write_all(data)
File "/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paramiko/file.py", line 456, in _write_all
count = self._write(data)
File "/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paramiko/sftp_file.py", line 180, in _write
t, msg = self.sftp._read_response(req)
File "/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paramiko/sftp_client.py", line 762, in _read_response
raise SSHException('Server connection dropped: %s' % str(e))
SSHException: Server connection dropped:


I noticed that if I update MAX_REQUEST_SIZE (in sftp_file.py) to be 1024 instead of 32768, it works. Does this mean that my only option is to copy/paste a custom version of sftp_file.py with MAX_REQUEST_SIZE = 1024? Does anyone else have suggestions that won't slow down uploads?

Update: It ended up throwing a OperationalError: SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected error the last few times I tried to update the MAX_REQUEST_SIZE. For reference, this is what I'm currently doing:

transport = paramiko.Transport((hostname, port))
transport.connect(username, password)
sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(transport)
f = sftp.open(ftp_path, 'wb')
f.write(file_obj.read())
f.close()
sftp.close()
transport.close()
