Here's a sample; there aren't any comments (proof that Python can be
almost as obscure as Perl ;-), but it shouldn't be *that* hard to read:

#!/usr/local/bin/python

import sys, os, ftplib, string

def getpass(prompt = "Password: "):
import termios, TERMIOS, sys
fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
old = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
new = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
new[3] = new[3] & ~TERMIOS.ECHO # lflags
try:
termios.tcsetattr(fd, TERMIOS.TCSADRAIN, new)
passwd = raw_input(prompt)
finally:
termios.tcsetattr(fd, TERMIOS.TCSADRAIN, old)
print
return passwd



if len ( sys.argv ) < 4 :
raise 'Must have three arguments: host[:path], user[:passwd], and file'

HostPath = sys.argv[1]
pos = string.find ( HostPath, ':' )
if pos > 0 :
host = HostPath[0:pos]
if ( pos + 1 ) == len ( HostPath ) :
path = ""
else:
path = HostPath[(pos+1):]
else :
host = HostPath
path = ""


UserPass = sys.argv[2]
pos = string.find ( UserPass, ':' )
if pos > 0 :
user = UserPass[0:pos]
if ( pos + 1 ) == len ( UserPass ) :
passwd = ""
else:
passwd = UserPass[(pos+1):]
else :
user = UserPass
passwd = getpass()


filename = sys.argv[3]
pos = string.rfind ( filename, '/' )
if pos > 0 :
basename = filename[pos:]
else :
basename = filename


fd = open ( filename )
ftp = ftplib.FTP ( host, user, passwd )
ftp.cwd ( path )
ftp.storbinary ( 'STOR %s' % basename, fd, 1024 * 16 )
ftp.close()

fd.close()

Here is a batch example, it is an extract so it comes with no warranty :)
It implements a 'put'-Operation on a file from Windows NT to an IBM-Host


import ftplib

def doit():
ftp = ftplib.FTP(FTPNameHost)
ftp.login(FTPUserId,FTPPasswort)
fileA= open(AuftragSammelDateiName,'r')
ftp.storlines("STOR '" + AuftragHostDateiname + "'" ,fileA)
ftp.quit()
fileA.close()

The 'STOR' and the "'" - Delimiters are specific for
the FTP-Implementation on an IBM Host.

Hope that helps !

thanks for the samples

I'll work my way through them and figure out what they do and how they do it

another small question in perl the #!/usr/local/bin/perl is not needed when
run on a windows machine, does it matter for Python on a windows machine
whether this line is present or not?

No, but if you set Windows up to recognize .py as an executable
extension, you can leave that line in there and have a
platform--independent program.
