Where can I find an example that uses FTP standard library?

[QuadriKev]

I am fairly new to programming in Python. There are a number of cases
where I would like to see examples of programs written. I like to
write them on Windows and in some cases put them on my Linux server to
do something useful.

I am also interested in using Telnet to check services and things on
the Linux server. Can someone give me direction on the best place for
examples? Full example of something written with GTK or wxPython would
be very interesting also.

TIA

I have some code that looks something like this:

from ftplib import FTP

ftp = FTP()
# connect and login
ftp.connect(server_name)
ftp.login(user_name, password)
cmd = "STOR %s" % filename
#"ASCII transfer"
l = open(filename)
ftp.storlines(cmd, l)
#"BIN transfer"
l = open(filename, 'rb')
ftp.storbinary(cmd, l)
# close connection
ftp.close()

All the various methods on the ftp object should be called in
try/except blocks, since they can potentially raise exceptions.

Pick up a copy of the Python Cookbook, it is full of examples.

You also might want to check out this site:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python

It contains 100's of code samples that might help.

The archives of this list are also a good place to look.
Google is also your friend. I entered python ftplib example
and turned up several examples like:

http://python.codefetch.com lets you search published books for Python
example source code.

a search for "telnet" on codefetch brought up this nice example source
code:
