    Python FTP issues

    Hello,

    This is my first post here, and i'd like to thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    While working on a python program to make HTML pages, i have encountered a problem when it comes to <br>
    uploading the pages.

    The 'sandbox' script which i am using to test my methods is:::
    Code:
    import sys, os, ftplib, MOD
print"running"
#oooo this is insert
s = ftplib.FTP('ftp.members.lycos.co.uk','myusername','mypassword') # Connect
print "Connect"
ndsfile = r"c:\index.html"
xnds = "STOR "+ndsfile
f = open(ndsfile,'r')               # file to send
xcv=ftp.getwelcome()
print xcv
print xnds
ftp.storlines('STOR index.html', f)
f.close()                           # Close file and FTP
s.quit()
print "done!"
    When i run this Pythonwin generates the following output:
    running
    Connect
    220 212.78.204.231 FTP server ready
    STOR c:\index.html
    Traceback (innermost last):
    File "e:\Program Files\Python\Py thonwin\pywin\f ramework\script utils.py", line 301, in RunScript
    exec codeObject in __main__.__dict __
    File "C:\Documen ts and Settings\dave\D esktop\ftplearn 1.py", line 12, in ?
    ftp.storlines(' STOR index.html', f)
    File "e:\Program Files\Python\Li b\ftplib.py", line 374, in storlines
    self.voidcmd('T YPE A')
    File "e:\Program Files\Python\Li b\ftplib.py", line 232, in voidcmd
    self.putcmd(cmd )
    File "e:\Program Files\Python\Li b\ftplib.py", line 162, in putcmd
    self.putline(li ne)
    File "e:\Program Files\Python\Li b\ftplib.py", line 157, in putline
    self.sock.send( line)
    File "<string>", line 1, in send
    error: (10053, 'winsock error')
    >>>

    As can be seen the program shows the welcome message from the server, so i know that the <br>
    connection is ready, and i have used examples from all over the WWW to try<vr>
    to correct the upload problem.

    I am running version 1.5.2+ of pythonwin on XP service pack 2 with avast <br>
    antivirus ( i am unsure if the windows firewall is working due to a current <br>problem with the WMI!)

    ANy help or suggestions will be hugely appreciated!

      Update on FTP issue:

      Can anyone PLEASE help?
      I've been plugging away at this when ive had the chance.

      Having restructured the code, and after trying different approaches as suggested by various sources, the program now looks like this:

      Code:
      import sys, os, ftplib, MOD
print"running"
print
ndsFTPtry = ftplib.FTP('ftp.members.lycos.co.uk','username','password') # Connect
print "Test Connection OPEN"
print
xndscv=ndsFTPtry.getwelcome()
print xndscv
print
ndsFTPtry.quit()
print "Test Connection CLOSED"
print
#oooo this is insert
s = ftplib.FTP('ftp.members.lycos.co.uk','username','pass') # Connect
print "Connection re Opened"
print
ndsfile = r"c:\index.html"
xnds = "STOR "+ndsfile
f = open(ndsfile,'r')               # file to send
print "index.htm is opened for reading"
zxnds= f.readlines()
print "file read ::"
print zxnds
print
print
xcv=s.getwelcome()
print xcv
print xnds
s.cwd("/")
print "directory set"
#s.port("21")
print "port set"
s.storlines("STOR index.htm", f)
print "File uploaded"
f.close()                           # Close file and FTP
print "File is CLOSED"
s.quit()
print "done!"
      Which now generates the following output from Pythonwin:
      PythonWin 1.5.2+ (#0, Oct 1 2004, 15:39:52) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.

          Hello again,

          I keep trawling the web looking for help with my FTP issue, and i keep seeing examples of code where ftp.stobinary is used to upload text files! Is this because of trouble with using storlines?
