pls..its urgent..copy a file from local to remote machine using ftp

Posted: Nov 9, 2005 7:29 AM

Hi,

I am newby in Python. I want to copy a file from a local machine with IP1 (for example) to a remote machine with IP2 for example.

I do:

import ftplib
f = ftplib.FTP(IP)
f.login(user,pwd)

and then I try to use ftpcp(). I do not know how to use it. Is there another way to copy the file besides using ftpcp()? Please answer with examples for a newby :)

Thank you very much!

Serban

The signiture for ftpcp is as follows:

ftpcp (source, sourcename, target, targetname, type)

sourcename - which is the copy from filename
targetname - which is the copy to filename

I would suggest to ignore type, unless you are sure that you will need a text transfer, otherwise type is default to binary.

The source and target are both FTP objects.

Did you need an example?
