Python3 and ftplib uploading files
- by Teifion
My python2 script uploads files nicely using this method but python3 is presenting problems and I'm stuck as to where to go next (googling hasn't helped).
from ftplib import FTP
ftp = FTP(ftp_host, ftp_user, ftp_pass)
ftp.storbinary('STOR myfile.txt', open('myfile.txt'))
The error I get is
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/rob3/functions/cli_f.py", line 12, in upload
ftp.storlines('STOR myfile.txt', open('myfile.txt'))
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/python3.1/ftplib.py", line 454, in storbinary
conn.sendall(buf)
TypeError: must be bytes or buffer, not str
I tried altering the code to
from ftplib import FTP
ftp = FTP(ftp_host, ftp_user, ftp_pass)
ftp.storbinary('STOR myfile.txt'.encode('utf-8'), open('myfile.txt'))
But instead I got this
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/rob3/functions/cli_f.py", line 12, in upload
ftp.storbinary('STOR myfile.txt'.encode('utf-8'), open('myfile.txt'))

return self.ntransfercmd(cmd, rest)[0]

resp = self.sendcmd(cmd)

self.putline(line)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/python3.1/ftplib.py", line 172, in putline
line = line + CRLF
TypeError: can't concat bytes to str
Can anybody point me in the right direction
