FTP upload issue

[davidj411]

I am having difficulty uploading a text file using Python 2.5 on MAC
OSX.

SCRIPT

filename='/tmp/mac.info2.txt'
fh=open(filename,'w')
fh.write('yes, i have a mac but don't hold that against me - just
example data')
fh.close()


from ftplib import FTP
'host, username, and password are string variables that have already
been defined.
ftp = FTP(host)
ftp.login(username,password)
'so far, logged in, all is well , error is on next line.

ftp.storlines("STOR" + filename, file(filename))
ftp.quit()

What am i doing wrong?  the file DOES exist, the path is correct, and
the file  was closed after being written. file(filename) should open
it again for the upload?

http://www.python.org/doc/lib/ftp-objects.html says that the command
should be an appropriate "STOR" command: "STOR filename". file is an
open file object which is read...
