File Transfer Need Help

[ADE]

Hi everyone well from my last post I found what I am looking for

I have some code now that transfers files

I have added a GUI to it and need some help with two things one my
loadtemplate() function if I run it won't open the filetypes I just get the
error message from tkMessageBox but its the right filetype

and the final problem the Variable FILE how can I get it to interact with
GUI once I select an image to send how can I use the selected File to send
using the sendfile function

this is as far as I know the last of my problems

please note that this code has been taken from different parts of the
internet

Cheers
# USAGE: python FileSender.py [file]
from Tkinter import *
import tkFileDialog
import tkMessageBox
import sys, socket

root = Tk()
root.title("My APP")
root.minsize(30 0, 200)
root.maxsize(50 0, 400)
def loadtemplate():
filename = tkFileDialog.as kopenfilename(f iletypes=(("TIF F", ".tiff"),
("JPG", ".jpg"),
("GIF", ".gif")))
if filename:
try:
self.settings["template"].set(filename)
except:
tkMessageBox.sh owerror("Open Source File", "Failed to read file
\n'%s' " %filename)
return
HOST = 'localhost'
CPORT = 9091
MPORT = 9090
FILE = # I need help here what do I put here
def sendfile():
cs = socket.socket(s ocket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STR EAM)
cs.connect((HOS T, CPORT))
cs.send("SEND " + FILE)
cs.close()

ms = socket.socket(s ocket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STR EAM)
ms.connect((HOS T, MPORT))

f = open(FILE, "rb")
data = f.read()
f.close()
textbox.insert( "Sending File Now...")
ms.send(data)
ms.close()
textbox.insert( "File Sent now Closing")

mybrowse = Button(root, text="Browse", command=loadtem plate)
mybrowse.grid(r ow=0, column=0, sticky=E+W)
mybutton = Button(root, text="Send File", command=sendfil e)
mybutton.grid(r ow=0, column=1, sticky=E+W)
textbox = Text(root)
textbox.grid(ro w=1, column=0, columnspan=2)
textbox.insert( END, "Depending on size of File this could take a while\n\n")

The problem is the line: self.settings["template"].set(filename)
This line is out of context. You're not within a class with a "member
variable" called settings. What are you trying to accomplish?

Aren't you looking for somthing like:

....
filename = tkFileDialog.as kopenfilename(f iletypes=(
("TIFF", ".tiff"), ("JPG", ".jpg"),
("GIF", ".gif")))
try:
sendfile(filena me)
except:
tkMessageBox.sh owerror("Some error sending %" % filename)
....

Of course to do so, you need to change the sendfile() function to a
function that takes 'filename' as argument. As a result, there's no
need for a global variable FILE anymore -- which may solve your 2nd problem:

def sendfile(filena me):
...
