My python2 script uploads files nicely using this method but python3 is presenting problems and I'm stuck as to where to go next (googling hasn't helped).
from ftplib import FTP
ftp = FTP(ftp_host, ftp_user, ftp_pass)
ftp.storbinary('STOR myfile.txt', open('myfile.txt'))
The error I get is
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/rob3/functions/cli_f.py", line 12, in upload
ftp.storlines('STOR myfile.txt', open('myfile.txt'))
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/lib/python3.1/ftplib.py", line 454, in storbinary
conn.sendall(buf)
TypeError: must be bytes or buffer, not str
I tried altering the code to
from ftplib import FTP
ftp = FTP(ftp_host, ftp_user, ftp_pass)
ftp.storbinary('STOR myfile.txt'.encode('utf-8'), open('myfile.txt'))
But instead I got this
Traceback (most recent call last):

ftp.storbinary('STOR myfile.txt'.encode('utf-8'), open('myfile.txt'))

line = line + CRLF
TypeError: can't concat bytes to str
Can anybody point me in the right direction
The issue is not with the command argument, but with the the file object. Since you're storing binary you need to open file with 'rb'
flag:
>>> ftp.storbinary('STOR myfile.txt', open('myfile.txt', 'rb'))
'226 File receive OK.'
