ftplib returns EOFError

[Jon Bowlas]

Hi All,

I've written a little method to connect to an ftpserver which works well,
however when I send a file using this ftp connection oddly I _sometimes_ get
returned an EOFError from ftplib.getline even though my file is actually
transferred. 

Here's my script:

    def uploadViaFtp(self, file, filename):
        '''A method to upload a file via ftp'''
        ftpserverloc = self.getItunesUftpServer()
        ftpserverusername = self.getItunesUftpUser()
        ftpserverpassword = self.getItunesUftpPsswd()
        ftp = ftplib.FTP(ftpserverloc)
        ftp.login(ftpserverusername, ftpserverpassword)
        try:
            ftp.storbinary("STOR " + filename, file, 1024)
        finally:
            file.close()
        ftp.quit()


And here's the traceback:
Traceback (innermost last):
  Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 114, in publish

Any help in catching and ignoring this error would be greatly appreciated.
