Here is a short tutorial for you. Not so much a tutorials as a reminder guide for me as to how to upload to an FTP site using python.
Copy and paste the code below into a .py file, and adjust the username/password/site given in the tutorial / example below accordingly.
from ftplib import FTP import os ftp = FTP('ftp.example.com', 'username', 'password') #Sets the ftp details ftp.login #Logs into the ftp server #ftp.retrlines('LIST') #Lists the contents of the current directory in ftp ftp.cwd('uploads') #Changes the ftp directory file_to_upload = open('c:/files_to_upload/certification/urls.py') ftp.storlines('STOR filename', file_to_upload) ftp.close() Its also worth noting that you could make it do this as part of a for loop, then looks through all the files in turn and just uploads them all. def look_for_files(add_path): for items in os.walk(add_path): path = items[0].replace('\\', '/') filename = items[1] In this tutorial I use the replace just to save errors with '\' (the escape character), as windows can manage filenames that have the slash in either direction, but unix really has a hard time. Anyway, happy trails. |
