HELP - FTP seesions using python????????

[gony at my-dejanews.com]

thanks for the samples

I'll work my way through them and figure out what they do and how they do it

another small question in perl the #!/usr/local/bin/perl is not needed when
run on a windows machine, does it matter for Python on a windows machine
whether this line is present or not?
