ImageTransfer script - pywikibot

9 Oct 2020

I want to do a controlled transfer of parts of one wiki to another.
For the files I've transferred the images directory, but the metadata
for the File:Happy.jpg page is missing, so I thought I'd try
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/imagetransfer.py

I've got a page list with pwb.py listpages -ns:File -start
-format:"{page.title}" > Files.list, but when try to transfer the
pages with

 pwb.py imagetransfer -v File:Happy.jpeg -tofamily:newwiki
Python 2.7.17 (default, Jul 20 2020, 15:37:01)
[GCC 7.5.0]

ERROR: Upload error: Local file uploads are disabled on newwiki:en-gb.

Network session closed.

So I checked newwiki/LocalSettings.php, and it has $wgEnableUploads = true;

Is there something I'm missing to get the image uploaded, and does the
5 year DeprecationWarning mean this script is unsupported, so should
be avoided?
