FTPS Upload

Prepared by: Brian Cohn

Installation

pip install ftpsconnector

Installation from GitHub

git clone git@github.com:bc/ftpsconnector.git && cd ftpsconnector
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install .
pytest #only for brian's test case

Example usage:

Bring in dependencies and set up user/pass

from ftpsconnector.helper_functions import connect, tx_with_progress, receive
ftp = connect(user='brian', password='your_password_here')

You need to define a file called password.txt and include only one line with your password in plaintext. Do not commit this file, use a .gitignore.

You can view files on the server's home folder with ftp.retrlines('LIST home').

Upload big file

input_filepath = "~/helper_functions.py" #use full path
destination_filepath = "home/brian_scratch/helper_functions_remote.py"
tx_with_progress(ftp, input_filepath, destination_filepath,
                 block_size_bytes=12500000)

Download that file back to local

filepath_pensieve = "home/brian_scratch/helper_functions_remote.py"
filepath_local = "~/Downloads/helper_functions_prime.py" #use full path
receive(ftp, filepath_pensieve, filepath_local,
	block_size_bytes=12500000)

Close out the connection

ftp.quit()
ftp = None
