Hey guys, hope someone can help with this as i've run out of resources. Just trying to upload a simple .txt script to a FTP server. This is what i've come down to...

Code:

from ftplib import FTP

fo=open("foo.txt", "wb")
fo.write("hello world")
fo.close()

FTP=FTP('ftp.ftpsite.com')
FTP.login(user='0men', passwd='password123')

FTP.storlines("STOR, foo.txt", "f")
FTP.quit()
FTP.close()

I've chopped and changed this code around, but still cant get anything, apart from errors, such as this..

Code:

line 14, in <module>
    FTP.storlines("STOR, foo.txt", "f")
  File "C:\Python27\lib\ftplib.py", line 483, in storlines
    conn = self.transfercmd(cmd)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\ftplib.py", line 368, in transfercmd
    return self.ntransfercmd(cmd, rest)[0]
  File "C:\Python27\lib\ftplib.py", line 331, in ntransfercmd
    resp = self.sendcmd(cmd)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\ftplib.py", line 244, in sendcmd
    return self.getresp()
  File "C:\Python27\lib\ftplib.py", line 219, in getresp
    raise error_perm, resp
error_perm: 501 Syntax error: Command not understood.

Thanks in advance, hoping someone can help.

I don't see an open file handle ...

Quote:

FTP.storlines(command, file[, callback])

Store a file in ASCII transfer mode. command should be an appropriate STOR command (see storbinary()). Lines are read until EOF from the open file object file using its readline() method to provide the data to be stored. callback is an optional single parameter callable that is called on each line after it is sent.

Changed in version 2.6: callback parameter added.
