In the standard library there is ftplib, which allows your program to
act as a FTP client. Of course
the receiver end should have an FTP server installing and running. I
don't tink it can handle SFTP protocol, so
if you are concerned with security you should opt for someting else,
or protect your connection somehow (e.g. SSH tunneling).

Or, if you have ssh (client and server) installed, you could simply
spawn a subprocess ( see the subprocess module for that ) which
execute one or more 'scp' commands.
