Wrapping an object around another

Hello all, I'm attempting to wrap a long cylinder around another one, to simulate rope. I've attempted the bend tool but that doesn't allow me to bend the rop in the way I want it to bend as I want a spiral around the other cylinder.

 

below is what I have right now. I'd love some help with this

Hi. You can use the Sweep modifier with Helix. See attached files.

 

Or, you can use the PathDeform modifier or PathDeform (WSM) like in this thread:
