newbie question: ftp.storbinary()

[Scott Ballard]

Sorry for the lame question, I'm still trying to pick up Python and new to
the list here.

Question:
I'm trying to write a python script that will access an FTP site and upload
some files. I've gotten everything working except for the actual uploading
of the files.

I'm assuming that I should use storbinary( command, file[, blocksize]) to
transfer the files. the documentation says "command should be an appropriate
"STOR" command: "STOR filename"."

I can't seem to figure out an `appropriate "STOR" command' is???

Thank for reading my post.

Cheers,
Scott

It frustrated the hell out of me too until I found this:

The following works:

from ftplib import FTP
ftp = FTP()
ftp.set_debuglevel(2)
ftp.connect(_host, _port)
ftp.login(_user, _pass)
ftp.storbinary('STOR ' + _file, open(_file))
ftp.quit()
