I'm trying to iterate through a group of files in a folder on my local machine and upload only ones where the file names contain "Service_Areas" to my FTP site using using this code (Python 3.6.1 32 bit, Windows 10 64 bit):
ftp = FTP('ftp.ftpsite.org')
username = ('username')
password = ('password')
ftp.login(username,password)
ftp.cwd(username.upper())
ftp.cwd('2017_05_02')
for i in os.listdir('C:\FTP_testing'):
if i.startswith("Service_Area"):
local_path = os.path.join('C:\FTP_testing',i)
file = open(local_path,'rb')
ftp.storbinary("STOR " + i, open(file, 'rb'))
file.close()
continue
else:
print('nope')
ftp.quit()
but I am getting this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\user\Desktop\Test1.py", line 32, in <module>
ftp.storbinary("STOR " + str(i), open(file, 'rb'))
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not _io.BufferedReader
Any suggestions?
I think it has to do with your second element in storbinary
. You are trying to open file
, but it is already a pointer to the file you opened in line file = open(local_path,'rb')
. So, try to use ftp.storbinary("STOR " + i, file)
.
