One thought is that you're not opening the file in binary for the
transfer.  Although you're using a binary store store operation at the
FTP level, that only notifies the server to process the incoming
stream without conversion.  The FTP module is still reading the file
through your text mode file object, and probably stopping at what it
thinks is an EOF when it sees the first ^Z (ASCII 26) in the file.

E.g.:

> def send_file(filename):
> 	ftp = FTP('server', 'user', 'pass')
> 	ftp.set_pasv(0)
> 	ftp.cwd('/home/bmstroh/public_html/images')
> 	print dest + filename
> 	fp = open(dest + filename)

Try changing this to: fp = open(dest+filename,'rb')
