[python-win32] GIS Shape file upload FTP server

[Ahmed, Shakir]

HI Group,


As I am very new in python field so this question might be very silly
but if I get any help that is highly appreciated.


Problem: 

I wrote a python script which is working fine to upload files to the ftp
server but the problem it is reducing the actual size of the after
transferring. I need to upload a GIS Shape file to the ftp server but
want to keep the same size and format. Any idea or help is highly
appreciated.

 

Thanks

The code is as follows: 
 
# Import system modules
import os
import sys 
import win32com.client
import zipfile
import os.path
import ftplib
from ftplib import FTP

 
ftp=ftplib.FTP("ftp.mysite.*","","")  
ftp.login('*****','*****')
#ftp.cwd("/export/pub/****")
ffile = open('c:\\test\\*.shp', 'r')
ftp.storbinary("stor *.shp", ffile)
ffile.close()
print "OK"
ftp.quit()
