I would like to make a script to upload a file to FTP.
How would the login system work? I'm looking for something like this:
ftp.login=(mylogin)
ftp.pass=(mypass)
And any other sign in credentials.

Use ftplib
, you can write it like this:
import ftplib
session = ftplib.FTP('server.address.com','USERNAME','PASSWORD')
file = open('kitten.jpg','rb') # file to send
session.storbinary('STOR kitten.jpg', file) # send the file
file.close() # close file and FTP
session.quit()
Use ftplib.FTP_TLS
instead if you FTP host requires TLS.
To retrieve it, you can use urllib.retrieve
:
import urllib
urllib.urlretrieve('ftp://server/path/to/file', 'file')
EDIT:
To find out the current directory, use FTP.pwd()
:
FTP.pwd(): Return the pathname of the current directory on the server.
To change the directory, use FTP.cwd(pathname)
:
FTP.cwd(pathname): Set the current directory on the server.
You will most likely want to use the ftplib module for python
import ftplib
ftp = ftplib.FTP()
host = "ftp.site.uk"
port = 21
ftp.connect(host, port)
print (ftp.getwelcome())
try:
print ("Logging in...")
ftp.login("yourusername", "yourpassword")
except:
"failed to login"
This logs you into an FTP server. What you do from there is up to you. Your question doesnt indicate any other operations that really need doing.
I just answered a similar question here
IMHO, if your FTP server is able to communicate with Fabric please us Fabric. It is far better than doing raw ftp
.
I have an FTP account from dotgeek.com
so I am not sure if this will work for other FTP accounts.
#!/usr/bin/python
from fabric.api import run, env, sudo, put
env.user = 'username'
env.hosts = ['ftp_host_name',] # such as ftp.google.com
def copy():
# assuming i have wong_8066.zip in the same directory as this script
put('wong_8066.zip', '/www/public/wong_8066.zip')
save the file as fabfile.py
and run fab copy
locally.
yeukhon@yeukhon-P5E-VM-DO:~$ fab copy2
[1.ai] Executing task 'copy2'
[1.ai] Login password:
[1.ai] put: wong_8066.zip -> /www/public/wong_8066.zip
Done.
Disconnecting from 1.ai... done.
Once again, if you don't want to input password all the time, just add
env.password = 'my_password'
Try this:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import paramiko
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect('hostname', username="username", password="password")
sftp = ssh.open_sftp()
localpath = '/home/e100075/python/ss.txt'
remotepath = '/home/developers/screenshots/ss.txt'
sftp.put(localpath, remotepath)
sftp.close()
ssh.close()
You can use the below function. I haven't tested it yet, but it should work fine. Remember the destination is a directory path where as source is complete file path.
import ftplib
import os
def uploadFileFTP(sourceFilePath, destinationDirectory, server, username, password):
myFTP = ftplib.FTP(server, username, password)
if destinationDirectory in [name for name, data in list(remote.mlsd())]:
print "Destination Directory does not exist. Creating it first"
myFTP.mkd(destinationDirectory)
# Changing Working Directory
myFTP.cwd(destinationDirectory)
if os.path.isfile(sourceFilePath):
fh = open(sourceFilePath, 'rb')
myFTP.storbinary('STOR %s' % f, fh)
fh.close()
else:
print "Source File does not exist"
