I want to upload a file to my server, I understand I should use the storlines() method, but I don't understand what cmd should be.

and fp would be the file object I want to upload, correct?

Here are Basic FTP Commands to get you going.

According to that page the command I would need would be 'put', I tried that but got this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Documents and Settings/William/Desktop/ftp.py", line 6, in <module>
ftp.storlines('put', open('C:/config/quotes/website/index.html', 'r'))
File "C:\Python25\lib\ftplib.py", line 426, in storlines
conn = self.transfercmd(cmd)
File "C:\Python25\lib\ftplib.py", line 345, in transfercmd
return self.ntransfercmd(cmd, rest)[0]
File "C:\Python25\lib\ftplib.py", line 327, in ntransfercmd
resp = self.sendcmd(cmd)
File "C:\Python25\lib\ftplib.py", line 241, in sendcmd
return self.getresp()
File "C:\Python25\lib\ftplib.py", line 216, in getresp
raise error_perm, resp
error_perm: 500 Unknown command

typical put eg:

from ftplib import FTP
import sys, getpass, os.path
host, username, localfile, remotepath = sys.argv[1:]
password = getpass.getpass("Enter password for %s on %s: " % \
        (username, host))
f = FTP(host)
f.login(username, password)
 
f.cwd(remotepath)
fd = open(localfile, 'rb')
f.storbinary('STOR %s' % os.path.basename(localfile), fd)
fd.close()
 
f.quit()
