I have to automatically upload folders to an FTP using a Python script. I am able to upload a single file, but not folders with subfolders and files in them. I did a lot of search, but failed. Could some one help me out here? Thanks in advance.
#! /usr/bin/python
import ftplib
s = ftplib.FTP('serverip','usrname','password')
file = '/home/rock/test.txt'
ftppath = '/IT'
filename = "rak"
s.cwd(ftppath)
f = open(file,'rb')
s.storbinary('STOR ' + filename, f)
f.close()
s.quit()
You basically need to use os.walk() to grab those files and transfer them.
Here's a script I wrote for myself to do much of what your asking. I wrote it a long time ago, so I'd probably do it differently if I wrote it again, but I get a lot of use out of it.
It imports psftplib, which is a wrapper I wrote for the putty sftp. Feel free to remove these references, or grab the lib at: http://code.google.com/p/psftplib/source/browse/trunk/psftplib.py
