FTP Posting Automagically with Python

Thursday October 25, 2007
Regardless of whether you are running an automated backup or pulling files from a network store, not having to watch over an FTP session is a wonderful thing. Building on the guides for building web clients and web servers in Python, you can now start on building an FTP client in Python. The first couple pages of the guide are published now, and more will follow in the coming week.

This guide relies on the ftplib module. Like most network modules in Python, ftplib invokes the socket module for its network connections. If you would like to learn more about the socket module, see the reference pages in the "Python Modules" section (pages 1, 2, 3).
