Here you open the file in (w)rite mode. Also, don't call it `file` as
that shadows the name of the built-in type.

And indeed, here you've written something to it.

storlines() needs a file opened in (r)ead mode however, hence the
error. Obviously, it needs to read the contents of the file in order
to send it over the network.
Either do the writing separately, close the file, and then open it
again in read mode, or open it in one of the modes that allows for
both reading and writing [see help(open) for details].
Cheers,
Chris
