I'm trying to pass the name of a file as the first argument<br>to the ftp.storbinary function(?) below. The only thing I<br>can get to work is the real file name hard coded as the<br>argument. I've tried parenthesis, single quotes, double
<br>quotes, and many combinations of the previous. I've tried<br>passing sys.argv[1] directly as well, although with fewer<br>experiments.<br><br>I invoke this as below and the output is what I would<br>expect, but the file name on the ftp server is never
<br>correct.<br><br><br>What is the correct way to do this?<br><br><br>$ ./garyftp.py <a href="http://align.ps">align.ps</a><br><a href="http://align.ps">align.ps</a><br><br><br><br>---<br>Python 2.3.4 on Linux.<br><br><br>
