Michele Bersani showed a very simple example of FTP uploader using a third party library (in .NET 1.1 you don’t have any FTP support at all) and hence I wrote a Python version.
Here is his script:
- using System;
- using System.IO;
- using EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp;
- namespace SimpleFTP
- {
- class Simple
- {
- [STAThread]
- static void Main(string[] args)
- {
- try
- {
- FTPClient ftp = new FTPClient();
- // Host
- ftp.RemoteHost = “Host”;
- // Connect
- ftp.Connect();
- // Login
- ftp.Login(“User”, “Password”);
- // Set up connect and transfer modes
- ftp.ConnectMode = FTPConnectMode.ACTIVE;
- ftp.TransferType = FTPTransferType.ASCII;
- // Put file to remote server
- ftp.Put(“local_file”, “remote_file”);
- // Close connection
- ftp.Quit();
- }
- {
- Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
- }
- Console.ReadLine();
- }
- }
- }
and this is mine (1 to 1 example, don’t bother with proper error handling):
- import os
- from ftplib import FTP
- try:
- # login to the remote host
- ftp_client = FTP(“host”)
- ftp_client.login(“username”, “password”)
- # change dir
- ftp_client.cwd(“remotepath”)
- # open the local file in ASCII mode
- f = open(“localfile”, “r”)
- # upload file in lines mode
- ftp_client.storlines(‘STOR %s’ % os.path.basename(“localfile”), f)
- f.close()
- # disconnect
- ftp_client.quit()
- except e:
- print e
In .NET 2.0 (finally) they put some FTP support in: System.Net.FtpWebRequest
