I can xfer a file from a remote server using:

How can i write a file to the remote server?

I tried:

x = u.url.open('http://joemoney.net/somefile.txt', 'w')

but that does not work

How do you normally (i.e. without python) put files on a remote server?

Using FTP, i'm really having a brain cramp here, but i'm new to python

We all been there, in some for or other ;-), anyway you might want to
have a look at this:
http://docs.python.org/library/ftplib.html


Tried this, the storlines doesn't work, everything else OK

from ftplib import FTP
ftp = FTP('joemoney.net')
ftp.login('secret','pw')
ftp.retrlines('LIST')     # list directory contents
ftp.storlines('STOR', 'sf.xml')   # Is this incorrect, it throws error>

  File "ftp.py", line 5, in <module>
    ftp.storlines('STOR', 'sf.xml')
  File "C:\Python26\lib\ftplib.py", line 470, in storlines
    conn = self.transfercmd(cmd)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\ftplib.py", line 356, in transfercmd
    return self.ntransfercmd(cmd, rest)[0]
  File "C:\Python26\lib\ftplib.py", line 327, in ntransfercmd
    resp = self.sendcmd(cmd)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\ftplib.py", line 243, in sendcmd
    return self.getresp()
  File "C:\Python26\lib\ftplib.py", line 218, in getresp
    raise error_perm, resp
ftplib.error_perm: 501 No file name


The file exists in the same directory as ftp.py
