The script is working and appending the date to newly uploaded files
but it is not adding the count? Any recommendations? Is the problem
due to os.path.isfile(fn): being just the file name and not the full
path? Thanks.
# strip leading path from file name to avoid directory traversal attacks
fn = os.path.basename(fileitem.filename)
# Include date in filename.
basename = fn
basename = basename + "_" + datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
count = 0
fn = basename
while os.path.isfile(fn):
fn = basename + "." + count
count += 1
# Open the file for writing
f = open('/var/www/apache2-default/' + fn, 'wb', 10000)
