Python Script Uploading files via FTP

ftplib now supports context managers so I guess it can be made even easier

from ftplib import FTP
from pathlib import Path

file_path = Path('kitten.jpg')

with FTP('server.address.com', 'USER', 'PWD') as ftp, open(file_path, 'rb') as file:
        ftp.storbinary(f'STOR {file_path.name}', file)

No need to close the file or the session

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.

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()
