Hi, I'm new to Python and I'm having some problems with getting different results from my script when I run it from IDLE versus just double- clicking the .py file and having it run through the command line. Basically, my script reads some CSV files, assembles a text files, then uploads that test file to an ftp site. When I run the script from IDLE, everything works fine. But when it runs from the command line, the file that gets uploaded is empty. It seems that it is creating a new file to upload, rather than using the existing file (or at least that's what I think is going on.) Below is my script. I apologize for any ugly code. Thanks for your help.
