ftplib question: how to upload files?

[python]

Hi:

I want to write a procedure to automatically upload some files for me, but
I'm getting stuck. Before I write my own gruesome put() function, I
wanted to check if there is an easier way.

Here's what I can do so far:

import ftplib
conn = ftplib.FTP('ftp.example.com')
conn.login(user='userid', passwd='passwd')
conn.cwd('/var/www/html/incoming')

What do I do to send files?

I have three files I want to upload, but I'm not sure what to do. I hoped
to find a ftplib.put() method, but it looks like ftplib is a low-level
interface.

All help is welcome.

I use this:

f=file(fileName,'rb')
conn.storbinary('STOR '+os.path.basename(fileName),f)

The methods your searching for are storlines (for ascii) or storbinary (for
non ascii).

You can simplyfy the process slightly with your own wrapper to those 2
methods to guess the file mode and call the correct method with the STOR
command created for you. An example is below.

def upload(conn, fname):
(head, tail) = os.path.split(fname)
command = "STOR " + tail
fd = open(fname, 'rb')
temp = fd.read(2048)
fd.seek(0, 0)
if temp.find('\0') != -1:
conn.storbinary(command, fd)
else:
conn.storlines(command, fd)
fd.close()

See if the code in

http://www.holdenweb.com/Python/PDCode/ftpStream.py

will help. It's supposed to make FTP easier.
