@ MRAB Thanks ...
I can see the file in /Users/admin/Documents after the following line
runs though?
os.rename('/Users/admin/Documents/locatelog.txt','/Users/admin/
Documents/%s.txt' % smush )
For instance I just ran the script and os.rename() renamed it to:
TestMachine.local @ 02-24-2010 2020.txt
in that .txt file it reads:
Asset: TestMachine.local Checking in from IP#: xx.xxx.xx.xxx
This is what I want, but the FTP piece doesn't seem to work...
