Python FTP Send Command

hello all,

please help me with python ftplib. i was trying to copy files from my linux machine to a windows server using ftplib. everything was working good. but i'm only able to copy files from the same directory the script is. how do i copy files from a different directory? i always get "file not found error message". here's my code :

Code:

tester_name = str (socket.gethostname())
def upload(ftp, file):
    ext = os.path.splitext(file)[1]
    if ext in (".txt", ".htm", ".html"):
        ftp.storlines("STOR " + file, open(file))
    else:
        ftp.storbinary("STOR " + file, open(file, "rb"), 1024)



parse_source_path = ('/path/to/where/i/go/')
parse_source_file_list = os.listdir(parse_source_path)

ftp = ftplib.FTP("server_IP")
ftp.login("username", "pass")

folder_list = []

ftp.dir(folder_list.append)

if str(tester_name) not in str(folder_list) :
    ftp.mkd("%s"%tester_name)
    ftp.cwd("%s"%tester_name)
    for files in parse_source_file_list :
        print files
        upload(ftp, files)


else :
    print "later"

Unetbootin does not do it and nor does startup disk creator. I the forums are described other ways but too complicated for me. I did find this, with simple instructions

Hi
I am using Cinnamon desktop on the top of arch linux. I wanted to load a python script at desktop login which informs me about battery stats, so I created a batterymonitor.desktop entry under ~/.config/autostart. The contents of batterymonitor.desktop a
Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=python /home/<myusername>/scripts/battery_monitor.py
Hidden=false
NoDisplay=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_US]=BatteryMonitor
Name=BatteryMonitor
Comment[en_US]=
Comment=
X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=0

But the problem is that the script is not loading at cinnamon login. I have also confirmed that the script is executable.
Can you help to load this script at cinnamon login?
Regards

Code:

PREFIX=192.168.1
OCTET=1
while [ $OCTET -lt "255" ]; do
    echo -en "Pinging ${PREFIX}.${OCTET}..."
    ping -c1 -w1 ${PREFIX}.${OCTET} > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
       echo "OK"
    else
       echo "Failed"
    fi
    let OCTET=$OCTET+1
done

My question is, in the penultimate line, why is it OCTET, and not $OCTET, with a dollar before it, meaning, the variable?

What if it were written:
Code:

let $OCTET=$OCTET+1

Like in C++ (I think) or Python or whatever?

I am trying to code a python script that does:- Using root account logs into multiple servers provided in a list. Check the OS type e.g. Linux, Solaris, HP-UX and Windows. Depending on the OS type it updates the name servers and options in /etc/resolv.conf. The update is done from a list that is also provided.

Any help is much appreciated.

One week user of Ubuntu v15 and I have tried to install the file Python-3.5.0a1.tar gz but without success. The following points have arisen.
1). The file was downloaded. OK
2). The file was extracted to the Desktop as Python-3.5.0a1
3). Using sudu apt-get install Python-3.5.0a1, the message 'file not found'. Why not!
4). Looking into the extracted files it seems that this is a source package and therefore cannot be installed as is?
5). Finally, using the bash command 'find' it could not find the above file either.
Can someone kindly sort this out for me.
Thanks.

I'm running Debian wheezy. I have Dropbox installed, but it won't run on startup. I downloaded their CLI script dropbox.py, and if I use

Code:

python dropbox.py start

then it starts. I'm trying to use that to get it to run at startup. I have tried editing .profile, and crontab, but it doesn't work and I don't know what else to try. Is it a permissions issue? (I tried making dropbox.py executable and adding python to visudo) or do I need to have some other command to run it at startup?

I appreciate the help!

I have just installed Debian "jessie" as well as Python 2.7.9. I have all the OpenSSL packages and I thought everything was working fine until I tried to hit the server using a browser (Chrome) and https://; Once I did that I got this error message on the server end, and ideas on how to resolve this would be great.

Incoming web connection from ('192.168.15.177', 53202)

Hello

I have a text file which has blocks like
Code:

dir1/dir2/dir3/name_run_number1:
line1_run_number1_part1
line2_run_number1_part2
line3_run_number1_part3...

Each block is separated with a blank line and there is the ":" in the "header" of each one while each block carries the same "number1" after "run_" suffix
What I want to do is for each block, extract the "number1" as shown in the first line and then for the lines below count from 1-20 and give a message if a "partX" line is missing. Any bash or python would be fine

Thanks

I have a shell script that calls an expect script I wrote to ssh login to another host and get user input regarding that host's network configuration. I pass four arguments to the expect script: the remote host ip address, the username, the password, and the list of commands to run. My expect script is below:

#!/usr/bin/expect
# Usage: expectssh <host> <ssh user> <ssh password> <script>

set timeout 60
set prompt "(%|#|\\$) $"
set commands [lindex $argv 3];

spawn ssh [lindex $argv 1]@[lindex $argv 0]

expect {
"*assword:" {
send -- "[lindex $argv 2]\r"
expect -re "$prompt"
send -- "$commands\r"
}

"you sure you want to continue connecting" {
send -- "yes\r"
expect "*assword:"
send -- "[lindex $argv 2]\r"
expect -re "$prompt"
send -- "$commands\r"
}

timeout {
exit }

expect -re $prompt
send -- "exit\r"
}

The script runs well, except that if I send a command such as 'read' that requires user input, the script does not continue or exit after the user presses enter. It just hangs.

The commands I pass to the expect script and it's call are as follows:
SCRIPT='hostname > response.txt;netstat -rn;read net_card?"What is the network interface card number? " >> response.txt; read net_mask?"What is the subnet mask? " >> response.txt'

/usr/bin/expect ./expectssh.exp $hostip $usr $pswd "$SCRIPT"

Any suggestions on how I can pass a command to my expect script that requires user input without it hanging?

On a side note because I know it will come up - I am not allowed to do key-based automatic SSH login. I have to prompt for a username and password, which is done from my main shell script.

Thanks for any suggestions and help you can provide!
